Porridge oats

Porridge is great

Although at this time of year I get a little bored of it. Maybe due to the lack of summer fruit (which I have in the freezer but can never be arsed to defrost).

I always add a bit of cinnamon or nutmeg. Sometimes expensive jam instead of honey. Always raisins and a piece of fruit. Pears and plums are the best when they're in season. Every now and then I add some homemade nutella.

Sometimes I steal oatmilk from my flat mate if I've run out of the evil dairy kind. But adding oat milk to oats really annoys me for some reason.

These are my go-to from the local shops. Organic, low miles, compostable packaging

You must live in the sunlit uplands, you should see the state of the porridge in my local shops :(

Tahini - with either banana, or blueberry and maple syrup. As well as being delicious tahini seems to quell the raging mid morning hunger I get with porridge.

But adding oat milk to oats really annoys me for some reason.

I know what you mean

I was pleasantly surprised to find these were good. They’re in the standard local Turkish grocery shop and the bouji organic shop (also run by lovey Turks). Used to use Sains taste the difference jumbo Scottish oats.

Oats not jumbo ideally, milk preferably full fat, banana. Heat and stir. Serve with bueberries or pomegranates.

I put frozen fruits on top of the overnight oats and in the morning they have defrosted .
In the fridge.

Do you mean the brand?

pomegranate

Elite!

Chipotle flakes, chocolate protein powder and tahini.

My mum would only make porridge “The Scottish way” with pinhead oatmeal and water, took an absolute age to make as I recall. She would add a little milk and salt later.

Will try

How did I not know about this thread?

Pinhead oatmeal is fucking great, quite different to regular oats.

But yeah, it's more of a half hour job on a Sunday. Although I've heard old school tales of people knocking up huge batches, storing it in a kitchen drawer and taking slices for packed lunches for about a week.

I guess dicki forgot to ask your permission

Your porridge is Vindaloo

Caramlized banana is a game changer and so easy. You can do it while your porridge is cooking/microwaving.

Heat a non stick pan on medium heat, peel and slice the banana lengthwise and place flat side down on the pan, fry till it starts to caramelise, turn and repeat. Toss in some pecans or sunflower seeds for the last minute.

this man knows

Vindaloo

thats too spicy for me

If you're not doing this you're doing it wrong.

Why not buy the Quaker oat microwave single servings while you're at it?

Soft brown sugar or molasses sugar for the win...

Good shout, think my mum told me about it first, but I completely forgot. Looking forward to try it tomorrow morning.

13 years later and I’ve come to the same conclusion:
“Almost as good as sesame, flax, hemp, (all crushed) with Sunflower and pumpkin seeds, which is the mix for winners! that shit'll even make you happier”
I just add chopped dried figs and dried apricots.

Just tried it with condensed milk and some caramel, it was lit.
