I soak my porridge overnight in half milk, half water. I also add any of the following :

Frozen mixed berries (good for kids too as when you stir it when cooking the next morning the porridge goes purple! ) with a little honey or sugar for sweetness
Chopped, dried apricots
Dried tropical fruits
Apple, cinammon and brown sugar
Jam (any flavour!)
Plain with brown sugar

Thank you to everyone for your really speedy replies!

Plenty of yummy-sounding ideas for me to try there, thank you!


edit - snowangel, "the porridge goes purple!"....that sounds fantastic!

we have ours with

-mashed banana mixed with brown sugar stirred in half way through cooking
-grated apple and honey
-dried fruit in any combinations you have - if you put it in at the beginning of cooking it swells up and is really yummy.

We have a GREAT thread on this. I'll join this to it to keep all the answers together.

My boys and I love porridge. They like it nice and creamy, without sugar - I like it with:

nuts, raisins, any dried fruit
Tsp of jam (blueberry is my fav.)
Dollop of cream (sometimes).

Nothing has the ability of porridge to keep you full until, in my case, 2 pm!
