I gave both of my two children this for breakfast when they were toddlers!
They loved it

Sainsbury’s jumbo oats. Soya milk no added sugar. Fage 0 % Greek yoghurt and Kafir yoghurt.

As a Scottish food convert, I wouldn't give any of those porridge "puddings" houseroom.

DH used to make the porridge, usually a mixture of pinhead and medium oatmeal, water and added salt. Cooked very slowly on the Rayburn. Served with creamy milk.

However, I now have to admit to putting a bowl of rolled oats and water into the microwave for as long as 2 minutes. he'll be turning in his grave- 😂😅

When dd1 was still at home, I would regularly find (among other debris) used bowls in her pigsty of a bedroom, with the remains of Ready Brek dried on like cement. 😩

25Avalon can you please tell me where you buy your rosehip syrup from?😋

Granmarderby10 I don’t. I make my own every Autumn - just rose hips, sugar, and time. I can send you the recipe if you like but obviously no use until next year. It makes about 4 bottles which I reckon is about £20’s worth.

If you Google you can buy on line.

Granmarderby,I had to smile at your
reference to a ' volcanic eruption ' Reminds me of when my children were small - remember ' The Magic Porridge Pot'?
I prefer to cook my porridge in a pan on the job.

Hob!! 😕🤔

I have a pack of oats from a farm shop which also contain nuts.
They are lovely. But I have never known anything else, particularly sugar, to be added to porridge oats. I usually buy simply oats.

Did anybody else collect rosehips as a child and take them to a collection centre where you got a few bob (if you were lucky) for your bags?
I’m assuming they were then turned into Delrosa syrup which we were dosed with to boost our vitamin C.
Oh happy days.

I think Shinamae has had a bit of a tough time with some responses from the ' Porridge Police ' !

Thanks for recognising that
I really take a notice of those people as they are usually like it on other threads to other posters as well
If it keeps them happy, that’s fine with me 😂😂😂

I'm going to throw this in and then run like mad😂
I make my porridge ( or Neine's special porridge as it used to known as) with milk and when ready a large knob of butter ( I can hear the screams) and brown sugar. I was on retreat once on a monastic island off the West Wales coast and everyone who tried it my way loved it.

I may be as Scottish as they come, but I'm no porridge snob! Have your porridge however you like it - whether that's the traditional way with salt or with any topping you like! Oh, and when I did work, I do confess that occasionally I would use one of the microwave porridge pots for convenience sake (shock horror!)

These are going into Work today because they are far too sweet for me
I have ordered some no sugar sachets and they should be here today

I have proper porridge made with milk. Sometimes l make it with whole milk as it is so creamy. Scotts Porridge Oats. There is no sugar either in the oats or added by me. I still occasionally like Ready Brek. It is actually very nutritious and we had it a lot as children. When my Dad had porridge, he would first add sugar, then cold milk on top. I never liked it like this, but I believe it was quite normal years ago.

What's the matter with you? Tesco and all other supermarkets sell plain porridge oats, I buy the Jumbo oats.

You could perhaps try overnight oats to take to work?
Soak oats in milk (or even better oat milk - takes the taste to a whole new level!) overnight and they’ll be ready to eat at work for your lunch with some added fruit, seeds or nuts yummy

As others have said perhaps you could try ‘ordinary’ porridge sometime - I used to make it in the microwave at work and it didn’t take long at all.

Sainsbury's do organic oats for not very much.

I am Gluten free and buy NAIRNS Scottish porridge GF oats …I add milk/ water as appropriate and cook them in the microwave in a LARGE bowl due to spillage. Done! Add whatever you want…in my case it’s molasses dark brown sugar!

For years I made batch of porridge in a slow cooker using whole oats or groats. I would reheat in microwave and add some molasses brown sugar and greek yogurt. I seem to have stopped making it as I think the groats were hard to source?

Musicgirl , as children my Mum always gave us porridge for breakfast in the winter months. You just triggered my memory of a bowl of porridge sprinkled with sugar and cold milk poured on - loved it !

I'm sorry if I come across as a porridge snob. Perhaps I am!
It just saddens me that people can be seduced by marketing to go for something with claims to be easy, quick and very healthy when the original is often just as easy and quick and even better for you.

Are you ok with the Nairns GF Oats?
I tried them but even they caused problems, they might be gluten-free but it's the avenin in the oats, I think.

I might eating them try again and see what happens.
