toast those oats in a dry frying pan first. It's a new world of porridge goodness.

Brown sugar and double cream is where it’s at for porridge excellence.

Shouldn’t the # symbol mean you don’t need to spell out hashtag?

Have I woken up on the wrong side of the bed?

Hmmm . . . toasty oat maple syrup and nutmeg porridge.

Christ I'm REALLY hungry just thinking about it. Going to have to go and make some.

EDIT: and i've got a slightly overripe banana to chuck in. Gert lush.

Very nice! Just tried this, and even using crappy oats with nothing but water (#monkanuary),  it works really well.

Very tasty, very toasty!. Tried this method with my Flahavan's oats this morning and really enjoyed the difference. I found I could have done with a little less coconut milk (no milk for me) than usual, though perhaps I could have anticipated that. Thanks OP.

I've had trahana in Greece made with sour goat's milk - *very* different! And quite nice.

Toasting the oats sounds good - I will give that a try.

I would soon get tired of having the same breakfast every day, no matter how good the recipe. So I like to keep ringing the changes, including with porridge. On that note:

Brown sugar and double cream is where it’s at for porridge excellence.

Try muscovado sugar for the extra flavour from the molasses content, especially dark brown muscovado sugar.

Soak overnight, pre warm the bowl & maple syrup FTW

Try it with maple syrup and blueberries (frozen are cheaper).

I love porridge. I make it with standard rolled oats, a 2:1 ratio of water and milk and add a handful of Sultanas. If I'm feeling 'fancy' I add some Golden Syrup. No more than 50g or it adds too many calories.

I love Peanut Butter but Peanut Butter in porridge is bloody awful!

Anyone else like eating it cold? I love the texture when it's solidified.

I'm sure I'll be called a heathen but my porridge recipe is:

- Jumbo rolled oats
- Coconut milk (the Alpro stuff)
- Blueberries
- Fresh ginger, grated
- Cinnamon

Post cooking:
- A small handful of nuts (walnuts at the moment)
- Unsweetened, natural yoghurt.

Hence the origin of 'your piece' in Scotland for packed lunch.

Cheers OP, tried it this morning, yum!

Sounds good.

My favoutite way is to simmer the milk with cinnamon and raisins before adding to the oats. Maple syrup to taste.

Toasting the oats sounds rather neat development.
