Millet. During cooking, you can add finely chopped pumpkin to the porridge.

Oatmeal. It is useful to add raisins and dried apricots to porridge. An interesting taste can be achieved by adding maple syrup. If you like unsweetened porridge, you can grate cheese into it and stir.

Pearl barley. To make it crumbly, soak the cereal and cook covered for forty minutes. During cooking, add butter.

If you decide to add honey, jelly or jam to the porridge, then you should not put sugar in it, otherwise it will turn out to be cloying.

Bon Appetit!
