Whether you’re a porridge pro or have only recently discovered how great it is, we’ve got you covered with these easy, wholesome and delicious ideas.
The perfect porridge: Mastering the basics
But before having a look at our porridge recipes, let’s get the basics right! The foundation of any great porridge lies in choosing the right oats. Jumbo or rolled oats are thicker and give a chunky texture (and need cooking longer), but if you prefer a smoother bowl, porridge oats are your best bet because they have already been slightly ground. Combine your oats with water or milk (or a mix of both) and a pinch of salt, and cook on low heat until creamy and thick. Don’t forget to stir to prevent lumps and make it even creamier!

Simply add grated dark chocolate and our Oatmeal Spice to your cooked oats, then slice some ripe bananas and sprinkle them on top. It’s like having dessert for breakfast – and we won’t judge you for coming back for seconds!

5 tips for perfect porridge every time
- Experiment with liquid ratios: If you prefer a creamier texture, use more milk in your porridge. For a lighter version, opt for more water. It’s all about finding the balance that suits your preferences. Feel free to use plant-based milks as an alternative to dairy if that’s what you prefer.
- Toppings galore: Don’t be shy with toppings! From fresh fruits, nuts and seeds to a drizzle of maple or a dollop of yoghurt, the choices are endless. Get creative and build your perfect porridge bowl.
- Overnight oats for busy mornings: Short on time? Prepare overnight oats by mixing oats, milk and your favourite toppings in a jar and leaving it in the fridge overnight. Wake up to a delicious ready-to-eat breakfast!
- Leftover porridge? No problem: If you have leftover porridge, don’t toss it! Refrigerate it and reheat it the next day with a splash of milk or water. You can even add it into banana oat pancakes or breakfast muffins for a fun twist.
- Spice up your porridge: Spices and seasonings are not just for savoury dishes! Level up your porridge with our special porridge spices like Oatmeal Spice, Apple Cinnamon Porridge Spice or Cocoa Banana Porridge Spice.
