My family served porridge with brown sugar sprinkled on top, or a swirl of golden syrup. DH"s family put bran on top of their porridge. I crush a weetbix on his now. How do you serve your porridge ?

My favourite is brown sugar and cream. I rarely have it though :)

thanks everyone. rarogal,it's quick and simple to make in the microwave. I use our pasta dishes, half a cup rolled oats, pinch sail, two thirds cup milk, cook for one minute, stir, cook for another minute and it is ready to serve. Saves washing up too, as you cook it in the plate you eat from.

My 6 year old daughter, a white and gold staffy, eats it anyway. Oh how she would like brown sugar and cream on top :-) :-)

Oh no . . . you sound like a normal person and I thought I was the only one left.

A sprinkle of cinnamon can be helpful if anyone's looking to cut down the added sweeteners.
westward1 - my 6 year old 'daughter' - red and white Boxer - completely concurs with your girls thoughts on the matter. ;-)

I had it this morning with berries, and superfoods blend. I've also started cooking it with a mix of unsweetened coconut milk and water.

I cook the porridge and then mix it with frozen blueberries which thaw within one minute and bio farm yoghurt. Never get sick of it.

Banana, cinnamon and maple syrup are good Or I soak rolled oats in soy milk with a little cinnamon overnight and in the morning grate an apple on top, sometimes add banana as well.

My favourite way is with cream and raw sugar. I was interested to see that someone here has butter with it. My neighbour, who is English, has butter on it too. I hadn't heard of that until recently. I haven't been brave enough to try it with butter.

I add banana protein powder (whey) and LSA, really nice, then just half water and half milk.

Gawd I need some porridge I am dribbling at all the posts on this thread.

Cooked with water and either a touch of cinnamon, cardamon or nutmeg. Sometimes make it with grated apple and almonds depending what I fancy. Usually topped with homemade oat milk, LSA and either prunes and fresh fruit or rhubarb & raspberry puree which I make as a topping to have with my greek yoghurt.

I don't put anything on top of my porridge because I cook it with grated Apple, vanilla essence, cinnamon, chia seeds and almonds - doesn't need anything else. Cooked with half water, half almond milk.
I also soak my "mixture" overnight so you get a nice soft, creamy porridge and no phaffing around in the morning mixing and measuring.
