We had porridge for breakfast inspired by Atelier September in Copenhagen.

Recipe (I have made some tweaks from the cookbook):
110 grams of oats
Handful of slivered almonds
Chia seeds

Cover with water and soak for a minimum of three hours. The recipe says overnight.

Put in a pot and cover with water and cook for 5-10 minutes. Add a pinch of salt, 30 grams of butter and honey (recipe uses sugar if you prefer)

Add your favourite toppings - jam, fruit and basil is recommended
