Nothing beats a good hearty bowl of porridge in the morning and this baked version sounds intriguing! Thanks for sharing with the Breakfast Club!

Sometimes I love it, othertimes it does seem like unappealing 'glug'! I did enjoy it as a child though because we got to choose whether to add sultanas or golden syrup and the freedom of that choice, and the delicious sweetness from either option, were quite wonderful.<br />Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887621874869110597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-10896052479558575642013-06-14T23:12:35.067+10:002013-06-14T23:12:35.067+10:00Thanks Hannah - funny you should say this - Sylvia...Thanks Hannah - funny you should say this - Sylvia fortunately is only allergic to peanuts (though I would love to share peanut butter with her) - I haven't been able to get her to eat other nut butters but today I needed a pick me up so I melted some chocolate and mixed it and cashew butter through some leftover porridge and it was amazing!
