I like to add Blueberries or Raspberries to mine.Sometimes i'll add a bit of honey if I haven't got any fruit in.

DS1 - honey
DS2 - raisins

A handful of oats in crubble topping makes it really yummy.

I have chopped up banana's and strawbeyy topped with maplie syrup.

Jam

Just blueberries when they are in season, grated apple when I cant get them.

Loving the sound of some of the other suggestions on here though, will have to try them out.

I have been giving my daughter porridge for years with may different variations but found her favourite is natural honey with banana keeps her on her feet she is always on the go from dancing, running and swimming

Just sugar

Treacle

I don't add anything but I buy the one with golden syrup as it adds such a lovely sweet flavour without being too overpowering

Either sultanas or a spot and I mean a spot of Strawberry Jam in the centre, little bit like when I was at school and had jam in the centre of Rice pudding. It may sound odd but it's yummy.

I add golden syrup- love it!

Always golden syrup for myself and DS1. DH has his plain mostly, sometimes with a scattering of brown sugar.

do like to put a bit of honey on or sultanas

sugar and dried fruit

I am a bit of a sugar fiend in the morning so have demerara sugar and maple syrup on mine

Ds1's favourite breakfast is porridge and banana.

At easter he'd break up an Easter Egg and stir that into his porridge too!

a bit oof syrup to sweeten it up not everyday though!

Honey and blueberries..delicious!

I add a a bit of golden syrup and make it watery then drink it in the winter. I appreciate I'm strange.

DS is a porridge fiend, and usually adds mashed banana, cinnamon and black treacle!
At the weekend, we sometimes put a choice of things out so everyone can add their own - chopped apple; banana; sultanas/raisins; other dried fruit (prunes and dates are popular); plus honey/golden syrup/brown sugar/maple syrup

Thanks to this thread, I have just had a lovely bowl of porridge - with brown sugar - a warming start to the day.

And I have just remembered - I forgot to tell you how my FIL takes his porridge (which he makes, when at home, in a double boiler 'porringer', that he is inordinately proud of). He makes a very thick, stiff porridge, and has a mound of it in the middle of the bowl, sitting in a lake of natural yoghurt - no sweetening at all. It looked terrible.

I add mixed berries and a drizzle of honey.

I have mine with honey, and when there are any berries in the garden add those too. So blackberries right now. I find it very relaxing popping out to pick a few before breakfast.

Honey or blueberries & almonds :-)

Golden Syrup
