[Closed] What's on top of your porridge?

Frozen summer fruits chucked in the bowl before nuking in the microwave.

Golden syrup + chopped banana + cinnamon

Spoon of jam.

Vanilla essence + cinnamon

Horse meat

salt

Nope, as I live south of the border.

raisens and dried apricots, occasionally coconut. yummy.

Honey with a sprinkle of dried fruit n nuts sometimes pop in a little cinnamon during cooking yum.

Honey, blueberries when I have them.

Cocaine or nothing for me.

Fat bastards!

Salt and nowt else!

had salt once in scotland, was pretty good actually. they don't put it on the top, it goes in the pan. i have syrup, and sometimes cream if there is any. i am getting fat tho. have had a stint of honey in the past but expensive... how do you do yours? i soak over night, half a cup oats, half a cup milk and half a cup water, wake up, put it on a low light and its ready by the time i'm dressed. yummy

Raspberries, Blueberries and Nectar.

how do you do yours?

Tesco Oats + 50/50 Milk/Water + Nuked In Microwave 2ish Mins + Flavourz = Stick In Face.

Oats n milk in a bowl and nuke in microwave job done

Honey.

Honey.

Yes, Dear?

Just maple syrup this morning.
Usually put some sultanas and a pinch on cinnamon in too.

Banana and raisins

Oats, pan, skimmed, simmer while drinking tea. Forget about it, remember, add more milk & eventually consume. Sometimes using a bowl.

More porridge, it's porridge all the way down.

chopped banana & honey, sometime some raisins and almonds

Bit of soy protein mixed in the porridge as I am weight training just now, the protein make the porridge nice and creamy too.

Green Bananas (hate the brown mushy ones), raisins, cinnamon, and pine nuts.

Fuel for winter.

Pork scratchings. But I am from Burnley.

Nothing. Anything else is just frivolity.

Pomegranate

Oats, 70% water, 30% milk on stove top for about 10 minutes, stir occasionally, towards end stir more frequently

Single Malt 🙂

Dried fruit- raisins usually and like this:

Oats and a little water in the pan
heat slightly until thick but not soggy
Arrange in a shape of your favourite mountain
Add a lake of milk (any flavour) at the base and add an action sequence of raisins on the slopes

nowt.

made with water not milk.

Just a little cold milk for me.

I like the contrast in temp

Following a similar threas last winter I tried chunks of marzipan broken into it before cooking and it was really nice. If you like marzipan, of course...

mattbee - sounds good. I have a stash of leftover marzipan so will try this.

Cocaine. Ah no, what do I mean. Raisons!

I wonder if they managed to get horse meat in their porridge too? 😀

Normally a guilty swirl of golden syrup for me. OR banana and maple syrup.

Blackcurrant jam.

Ideally it would be my Dad's homemade blackcurrant jam, but he's dead and Mum sold all our blackcurrant bushes to a bloke down the road.

Sometimes just brown sugar or maple syrup.

Honey and banana - hot porridge poured over the banana in the bowel so it warms it up

1/2 cup oats, 3/4 cup milk, 1/2 cup water.

Splash of cold milk at the end to loosen it up

Muscavado sugar and if there is any in the fridge, double cream.

stewed prunes..
with a couple of tablespoons of linseeds every few days

hot porridge poured over the banana in the bowel so it warms it up

Why not put the bananas in while cooking?

Maple syrup! Yum!! 😀

Dried dates and honey is good (for when you can't get your hands on fresh blueberries).

Water 80% & semi skimmed 20%

Honey

Honey ,chopped banana & raisens

Bluberries

Brown sugar. Plus bananas if it's eaten before a ride.

Salt and nowt else!

This

Its breakfast not dessert

mixed seeds, mixed dried berries, touch of golden syrup...

Always salt, occasionally dried raisins and sultanas, or marzipan shavings if I feel like living it up a bit. 🙂

Golden syrup with chopped banana's on top

Usually its the cat usually it fricken loves porridge

Milk or water, plain or augmented, it's all good in my book. Try the following:

A tablespoon of Whole Earth crunchy peanut butter stirred in, with chopped bananas on top.

Or for a more summery option, creme fraiche and fresh raspberries.

Made with water,topped with pineapple fresh ,mixed nuts and occasionlly dollop fresh yogurt

1/2 milk, 1/2 water, seeds, raisins, prunes, cinnamon, golden syrup or brown sugar. Never salt dinnae like it!

Dates! Peanut butter!! Eeeeurgh weirdos!!

Golden syrup on mine, and Tesco everyday value oats with extra horse seem to be best!

Maple syrup and banana

Honey and Creme fraiche.

If you haven't had Creme fraiche on ya porridge, you haven't lived.......

Brown sugar.
Nuff said.

hot porridge poured over the banana in the bowel

That's a funny way to take it. Each to his own I suppose.

Mr AdamW sometimes puts a small amount of single malt in his. I make it so it has skimmed milk and sultanas in. Made in a pan so it's really creamy (good big oats).

Then tinned fruit, but I'm partial to blueberries if I feel posh.

Pedro Ximenez (sherry) Winter pedaling food at it's best

Various ways depending on what mood I'm in, but always made with 2:1 milk to water and a pinch of salt.

Golden syrup or honey
Banana
Raisins
Cashew nuts
Apricots (dried)
(Any combination of the above)
Raspberry or bramble jam
Whisky

For me its goji berries and mixed fruit.
And i always have raw porridge with soya milk.

Any of the St Dalfour jams, the Fig Royal one is loverly.

Maple syrup is divine. 8)

Not had porridge for years but I used to like a layer of cornflakes topped with a sprinkling of sugar 😀

Honey

Instant Coffee

or

Banana Nesquick

Why not put the bananas in while cooking?

I'll try it! - might be too mushy

I'll try it! - might be too mushy

2ish mins in the microwave seems to be ok. If you find them too mushy, then just bung them in half way through cooking, or cut them chunkier.

Apricot jam. Slurp!
