Porridge plus

Here's my recipe for the old prison favourite: "Quaker" JUMBO porridge oats and no other- for real texture and nuttiness. Good squeeze of pouring honey, Good handful of sultanas Heaped tablespoonful dessicated coconut. Good pinch ground sea salt Big grind of ground pepper. Method: Add sufficient cold tap water to cover level oats by 1 cm Stir really well and continuously over high heat until all the water is almost absorbed. Serve immediately and eat from side of plate while it cools down. Yummy. I find this recipe so delicious that it turns boring old porridge into a gourmet sensation! Give it a try....

This is a really good breakfast. I love porage and I love honey on it so to have banana added to it too - it's delicious

Great way to start the day! Used mixed nuts instead of hazelnuts and it worked just as well.

Dear LindaSi (6th Jan) YUK!!!!! this is horrible - give me the above recipie any day, milk, nuts and fruit are the best way to go it's a meal in itself, loads of vitamins, minerals and protien to kickstart the day. They reckon you should breakfast like a king.

use low fat yoghurt, grated apple;raisins and cinnemon. lovely.

Makes breakfast enjoyable again!

This is my favourite recipe as it is damn right yummy and it is one of your five a day (the banana!)!!! definitely recommend it! also tastes nice with blueberries! x

I have porridge five times a week in the winter but made the old fashioned way with oatmeal, a little salt and water. None of this fruit on top! Yuck! I soak the oatmeal, salt and water overnight then cook for two minutes in the microwave, stir, then cook for another two minutes. Serve with milk. Delicious!

Also add blueberries and drizle honey and flaked almonds over the porride.............delicious!!

Also delicious (though not so healthy) with golden syrup or maple syrup instead of honey.
