10 porridge recipes to get you through winter |
|
Winter is officially upon us and the weather is getting seriously cold and frosty. It’s the time of year when nothing quite beats a bowl of warm porridge in the morning.
Porridge never used to be a favourite of mine, in fact I used to hate porridge and thought that it tasted pretty awful if I’m honest. The thought of it really did make me feel queasy and just one mouthful was enough to remind me that I really didn’t like it. This was until I discovered all the wonderful flavours and toppings you can add to a simple bowl of cooked oats to make it taste absolutely delicious! Simple things like berries, nut butter and a little maple syrup can really turn a boring breakfast into the yummiest thing you’ve had in a long time!
So in honour of a seriously filling, nutritious, versatile and darn right delicious breakfast I have collated 10 oaty recipes that really prove that you can do absolutely anything with some oats and a few extra ingredients.
baked oats
Baked oats are one of my favourite ways to have oats. You can make them taste like a delicious pudding and still eat them for breakfast! That’s a winner in my eyes!
Baked oats are also perfect to make in large batches so you can pop them in the fridge and store for the next day or for when you struggle to have much time to make a delicious, nutritious and fuelling breakfast.
The two recipes below are very autumn/winter recipes and look absolutely delicious and filling! Full of warm and gooey winter flavours you really can't go wrong.

Overnight oats
I know what you're thinking, overnight oats in winter?! Surely not?! Well yes, hear me out on this one.
Overnight oats shouldn't be saved for those spring and summer months when a cold breakfast is really refreshing and cool, they should be an all-year-round kind of breakfast so I'm putting them on the map with these delicious winter overnight oat recipes.
Overnight oats are also a welcome change to porridge. I know how good a bowl of the warm stuff is on a cold and frosty morning but just for the sake of different flavour combinations and well, something a bit different, I am putting them on the list (when you see the photos and recipes you will see why).

sweet porridge
Ah, my favourite category...sweet porridge. I am definitely a girl with a huge sweet tooth so when it comes to any kind of porridge the sweet stuff is always at the top of my list for toppings- fruit, maple syrup and granola being my all time favourites.
I love the versatility of porridge so much. You can literally put anything with it and it will taste good!

Savoury porridge
This last section is a bit of a game-changer and a little bit of something different. If we can have sweet porridge, why can't we have savoury? I have never tried savoury porridge before, simply because I never really though it was a thing. But now that I know that these things are actually real I am totally into it and will be having a go myself.
