Let's talk porridge, cook it on stove or microwave? Overnight oats? Made with milk or water? Sweet or not? Add anything to it?

Generally go overnight oats. Oats, vanilla protein shake with almond milk, chia seeds and then top it off with strawberries and low calorie syrup

If on the stove then I just use whole milk and top it off with syrup and cinnamon

I tried to do it in the microwave once but think I left it in too long as it overfilled. Never again

Golden syrup is better than honey

Instant microwave jobby. I like those flavoured ones like golden treacle or apple and blueberry or cinnamon. I will also eat plain but needs sugar. I wouldn’t eat it without. I like to add banana too.

Milk and the microwave. We have gluten free oats - because they are proper large flakes and not the ground chaff that you usually get. Love porridge! Did you know… I had a health check a while back (45 year old MOT) and the clinician said that porridge is a super food for cholesterol. It cleans your arteries. Why isn’t this common knowledge? I asked. Because it’s cheap and drug companies can’t make money from it, she said. Whether it’s true or not, I don’t know. But porridge oats are good for you!

For the wife, it's a case of giant rolled oats, cooked on the hob with part milk, part water.

Put at splash of milk into the waiting bowl, add cooked porridge - drizzle a little maple syrup over it. She never liked porridge until a couple of years ago, when I made it for her.

As for me, being half Scots, it's boiled with water, splash of milk in the bowl and topped with a dash of (lo) salt.

Microwave with lactose free milk or soya milk. Maybe a sprinkle of sugar. But at the moment, I'm adding some protein powder to it.

Love porridge with milk and honey. Always had stove top made as a kid. Now I just microwave using milk but can tell the difference and prefer stove cooked.

Just can't be bothered to do it that way.

I can't stand porridge cooked on the stove but I like it microwaved. Odd, I know. Hated porridge (stove cooked) as a child!

I'm exactly the same, milk and honey and always had it as a child.

I love porridge but in the winter months only.

Condensed milk is sweetened.
