Step:

  1. To make the Basic porridge recipe, put the oats, water and milk in a pan and bring to the boil stirring frequently. Reduce to a simmer for 6 minutes or until thickened. You can serve plain with sugar/salt to taste or use one of the following topping recipes

  2. For the Honey Nut topping, preheat the oven to gas 4 / 180C / 350°F and line a baking tray. Combine the nuts, sugar, honey/syrup and cinnamon then spread over the tray. Bake for 10 minuted, cool, then use as topping for the basic recipe with some sliced banana

  3. For the Seeded topping, simply stir the seeds and cranberries through the basic porridge and top with some plain yogurt

  4. For the Fruity topping, stir the apple and cinnamon into the basic porridge and top each bowl with some berries, yogurt and a drizzle of honey

  5. For the Compote topping, put everything except the pistachios into a small saucepan and let simmer for 5 minutes or until thickened and syrupy. Top the basic porridge with the compote and sprinkle the pistachios over the top

  6. Using gluten-free oats, alternative non-dairy milk such as coconut, rice or almond milk and coconut milk yogurt makes these recipes gluten, dairy & soy-free
