Porridge is a breakfast I grew up with. My mum always said it was one of the healthiest breakfasts that she could give us. That’s why I make it for my kids today, myself included. I love porridge as when it comes to toppings the sky’s the limit. You only need to look at my social media to see how many variations of porridge we eat in our house.
