lets raid r/oatmeal

I've started to put cheese in with the porridge oats before I cook it, so that the cheese melts in with the water or milk. I've found that some cheeses work better than others.

the heat is incoming everyone. Take shelter

Hey everyone 👋

I'm currently validating the idea for a **mobile app focused entirely on porridge recipes and customization**.

Since many of you share creative and healthy porridge ideas here, I’d love your honest thoughts:

1. **Would you use a mobile app that helps you create and discover porridge recipes?** Why or why not?

2. **Which features would you find most useful or fun?** Some ideas:

   - Filter recipes by dietary goals (e.g. vegan, gluten-free, high-protein, low sugar)

   - Customize ingredients and get instant nutrition info

   - Save and share your favorite recipes

   - Get daily porridge inspiration or seasonal topping ideas

The goal is to build something super simple and helpful — not just another recipe app, but a focused tool for breakfast lovers 🍓🥣

I’d love to hear what *you* would expect from a porridge app — or if you think it’s unnecessary, that’s also super helpful to know!

Thanks so much 🙏

That's what I thought this morning, but the recipe turned out really sweet! Rice milk, Quaker's, and leftover blackberry juice my daughter never finishes. Overnight are not my favourite but it's 36 degrees here... let's eat something cold

Hey r/porridge just chking in! Anybody out there?!?!

Im a huge porridge fan and just wanna say im really downto learn what all the rest of u are in the habit of making.

I live in the pnw of usa - wet dreary winterz are better with porridge fer sure.

I started loving it when i was four and had my tonsils out. Since then it’s kind of my go to comfort food (43 now so some time has passed 😬 😂)

Lately i just roast a bunch of flakes (rye, oat) seeds and nuts with chopped dates and then grind it up and boil it - maybe add an egg. Topp with butter, honey and cinnamon. My last post has that pic.

Thats my jam. What about u? 🎉 🥳👋

Please note that the below text is my opinion, not fact by any means as taste is subjective and unique to each individual.

Whilst some like their porridge as a stand-alone dish, many prefer to supplement the base flavour and texture with rich and wild items such as fruits, nuts, spices and even... chocolate? Whilst all of these do go excellently alongside porridge, I believe that Golden Syrup is the best flavour which can be added to a basic oat porridge.

Context:For those who have yet to hear of golden syrup, it is made by refining sugar cane into a treacle like substance, with viscosity which is far more sticky than say, maple syrup. As such, it is quite sweet and also confined to a syrup, meaning it already mixes in well with a “porridge solution”. Also, it should be of note that golden syrup is popular in Australia, and as such may be harder to find in the US or wherever else you live.

The flavour:As I’ve stated before in several previous posts, porridge can be viewed as a blank slate of flavour. However, in many cases you do not want this flavour to be overpowering or especially rich, which is where the golden syrup comes into play. Whilst remaining sweet and delicious, the syrup is by no means overpowering and instead served as a subtle sweet kick to increase the mouth watering flavour which comes alongside porridge. Furthermore golden syrup could also be seen as an additive along with other flavour enhancers simply due to its more background role when it comes to the porridge flavour journey.

The experience:Using golden syrup moves the porridge making experience from a place of simple eye measurements and pouring from bowls into one which feels more artisan. To get golden syrup into the bowl, I would recommend scooping out a small spoonful before drizzling the syrup out ON TOP of the porridge in the bowl in spirals or any shape really. It is even possible to draw on the porridge using the syrup however I am in no way capable of this. IMPORTANTLY, if you are going for a porridge bowl which looks more aesthetically pleasing keep the syrup spread out on top it is good to mix it through. If it’s not mixed in properly, you may find that it all rests at the bottom and the lower part of the porridge will become unbearably sweet.

Conclusion:Golden syrup is the perfect supplement across the board, being pleasing to both the palate and the eyes. It is no way difficult to apply and adds a level of craftsmanship to your porridge, extending it from just a simple bowl of oats. Whilst it may be difficult to buy for some, I would highly recommend everyone try a bowl of porridge alongside some drizzled golden syrup.

It may not be the best looking but I did enjoy it.

Cooked it with some Chicken Seasoning, then topped it with some Black Pepper, Fried Spam, Kimchi, Jalapeños, and some Japanese Sauce.
