I'm a porridge lover, and most mornings (even in the summer) I have a hearty bowl of porridge, usually topped with fruit or yoghurt. Before making the porridge, I usually sprinkle into the oats a mix of spices (ginger, cinnamon) nuts and seeds (almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, ground linseed/flaxseed) and some dried fruit (sultanas or dates). The only thing about porridge is that it isn't instant, but I've saved off a few seconds by creating a 'magic mix' of the above spices, nuts and seeds, and by sometimes soaking the oats over night.
