What do YOU have on your porridge/oatmeal?
I just finished my breakfast, for which I had (as usual) porridge. I LOVE the stuff. Today I tried something new, having grated apple, cinnamon and honey. Normally I stick to just a teaspoon of 29p jam because I'm a student and I'm poor, but today's version was almost as cheap and so tasty!
Anyone got any recommendations for delicious porridge/oatmeal? (Porridge and oatmeal are the same thing, right? Oatmeal is just the American name?)

I'm scottish, so I consider the only true way to eat porridge is with cold milk and salt.0

oatmeal w/ flax, 100g blueberries, 2 tbsp fat free vanilla yogurt. Yum!0

I don't particularly like porridge, but i make a bircher style muesli with my oats, I also add some pumpkin, chia, linseed and sunflower seeds soaked overnight in natural yoghurt, and i also add vanilla protein powder and berries, yum0

I'm going out for a big meal tonight so I'm restricting my calories a bit today. I substituted my milk in my porridge for water and to give it enough sweetness I added blackberries and blueberries. I cooked the porridge a bit in the microwave then added the fruit and cooked that all in the microwave. The fruit sort of broke down and the porridge was delicious! Definitely doing this more often!0

With honey! Or a combination of raw sugar and cinnamon.0

I LOVE my oats! I usually make it with half water/half skim milk, and a tablespoon of REAL maple syrup. My cat seems to like it too as he is constantly trying to stick his head in the bowl to eat it before I'm done!0

Old style / steal cut oats with dried cherries and almonds!! Yum!0

I have it with sweetener and almond milk, sounds boring but its really tasty!x0

Organic oats (50 grams) plus skimmed milk, teaspoon of sugar and a third of a can of evaporated milk.

banana & berries0

Half a spoon of Tesco Everyday Value Honey for me.
I'm not sure I'm making my porridge right - I boil water, pour over the oats and honey until it is covered, stir and leave for a few minutes. I do like the taste and texture, though. I say I'm not sure I'm doing it right because I hear that you're supposed to microwave it... which leads me to think the microwave must have been invented by a Scottish person in the 15th Century.0 -
Always 1 TBS of some kind of chopped nuts and chopped apple or dried fruit or mini chocolate chips. Yummmm:bigsmile:0

I think traditionally you would boil it in a pan until the oats have soaked up all the fluid and it has a creamy texture. I can't stand the stuff made with water though, fair play to you!
I eat mine with cinnamon, or peanut butter and cherry jam, or with a sprinkle of crunchy oats and agave syrup - I love the stuff!0 -
apple, cinnamon and raisins in it, banana and honey, nuts, any form of dried fruit, i always put in an egg white for protein (you cant taste it) or you can put in the whole egg with a bit of sweetner for an egg custard taste, you can add pureed pumpkin for pumpkin pie oatmeal, grated carrot, cinnamon and raisins for carrot cake, low fat cream cheese and sweetner for cheesecake, you can make a simple fruit compte to put on top, you can bake it for a different texture, there is SO much to do with it0

A banana and a spoon full of Nutella - the food of the Gods :-)0

Same every day - cooked with skimmed milk with some dark brown sugar on top.
Don't like the taste when just cooked with water and the milk gives me GOODNESS. nom nom want some more now
but a litte salt in at the end instead of sugar on the top is actually really delicious!0 -

About 290 calories.
Do you pour the evaporated milk on top?
I get 275 calories just from the oats (50g), skimmed milk and a teaspoon of sugar so I must be miscalculating if you can get evaporated milk as well for an extra 15 calories!0 -

Yes Almond Milk gives it a nicer flavour I find. Add to this Cinnamon and Flax and its very nice indeed.0 -
topped with brown sugar and low-fat milk. Just finished mine,yum!0

I have my oatmeal with unsweetened vanilla almond milk and blueberries...I add walnuts if I have the craving for crunchy! Its delicious. I make a pan of oatmeal and bake it on Sunday nights and have a breakfast bar throughout the week.0

Ah, I guess the oats become more bloated and softer? Mine's like a thick mushy muesli. Feels like I'm eating something with substance. )0 -
Fruit and nuts and either honey or maple syrup (or neither some days). Today: blueberries, chopped pecans and a teaspoon of maple syrup.0
-
I've always loved dates and bananas in my porridge. Yum!!!
I really like dates0 -
chunky peanut butter and a spoon of heavy cream0
-
I have honey. Just a teaspoon swirled round the top. Don't want to add too many more calories to my breakfast.0
-
I make it with milk, 1 tsp of cinnamon and a spoonful of raisins. Topped with molasses sugar to sweeten.0
