Ok I know no one needs a recipe to make porridge but I get so many people asking me about what I eat for breakfast and also so many people lacking inspiration for a healthy but filling breakfast. So to solve both those problems, here is my porridge post for you all π
- 25g oats
- 180ml semi skimmed milk
- 1 egg
Put the oats and milk into a small pan and heat and stir until it starts to thicken. Crack the egg in and whip up until you canβt see any bits off egg anymore and itβs thickened to your desired consistency.
So many people have commented to say the egg part is weird but seriously try it – not only does it make the porridge rich and creamy itβs the perfect protein addition to what would be a very low protein breakfast otherwise. This a) fills you up for longer and b) kick starts your metabolism early in the day. WIN WIN.
- Chopped pear, cinnamon, raisins and honey
- Chopped banana, almond butter and honey
- Blueberries, almonds and maple syrup
- Mixed berries, almond butter and honey
- Grated apple, kiwi, granola and raisins (my ‘Bircher Porridge’)
To be honest I will create any combination using any of the above ingredients but basically I will always add at least one piece of fruit, some kind of nut and either honey or maple syrup to sweeten. Cinnamon also features rather often – sometimes even with a sprinkling of ginger – wild eh?
So there we go, a blog post about porridge – itβs just so bloody brilliant it would have been rude not to.

See, I have always had a sort of ‘Marmite’ relationship with porridge, but this looks DELICIOUS! Definitely want to try some of these combinations! π x

Haha Jane well just like marmite I can’t understand why anyone wouldn’t love porridge π but you’ll have to try some exotic combos and see what you think. You could also always go with the chocolate porridge option by adding a spoon of cocoa powder….that could never fail to please π
