Next time Try adding ground cinnamon, ground ginger or vanilla to the porridge for a flavour boost. For toppings, think bananas with maple syrup and peanut butter, stewed apples with cinnamon sugar, or pineapple with coconut yogurt.

Method
Put the oats in a small pan and cook for 2-3 minutes over a medium heat until toasted and nutty. Tip into a bowl and add the milk to the pan. Bring to a simmer, then add the oats. Cook over a medium heat, stirring constantly but gently for 5-6 minutes until thickened and creamy.
Add a splash more milk to reach your preferred consistency. Serve the porridge topped with the almond butter, preserved pears and a little of their syrup (or fresh pear with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup).
