"Oats so simple" is cack btw. MYOP* is the way forward 

*Make Your Own Porridge

I agree.  You've been able to buy Oat So Simple in individual sachets for years (much cheaper than individual plastic pots) so I've tried adding dried milk to it but the texture is horrible and the flavoured ones are too sweet.

I'm too lazy for MYOG but it is far cheaper to simply add decent porridge oats (I like Scott's traditional) to dried milk (Nestle Nido) in a ziploc bag with a handful of dried fruit.  Texture and taste are far better than Oat So Simple as well. 

Maybe it's just my imagination, but somehow the Oat So Simple (and clones) porridge seem to cook more quickly, or require less advance soaking, than proper porridge oats.

I tend to go with RedyBrek these days, decanted into sandwich bags with some of that Nestle powdered milk, sugar, and maybe a few raisins.  It's definitely ready more quickly than normal porridge.

Scramble eggs are nice for brekkie too, but my (well past their best before date) stocks of Super Cook powdered eggs are rapidly dwindling and get saved for special occasions now.

Their stuff is great and I've sang their praises here and elsewhere but it's expensive for what it is. I just "ordered" a box of 14 bars (mixed flavours) and with p&p it comes to £1.62 per bar

I don't actually like porridge and have to be very careful with museli, so stick with the Oats so Simple (or similar) with golden syrup. It may be sweet, but I can eat it and it makes for a more palatable breakfast then just a cereal bar or two.

That's a very good point, right there.

Breakfast for me is a cuppa coffee, i can never face food till well after mid-day.

Tried a sainburys own make one today. Nice but two pots are required for us growing lads.

Have you had a look at Morrisons instant porridge just add water  with  honey and cranberry flavours in pot normally 3 for £2.  i'm all ways looking for something in a bigger pack but soon as its in a box its add milk.

I've recently been having Soreen and philadelphia(the individual portions that can easily cope with a day out of the fridge) for breakfast at camp, not lightweight but rather nice...

Ahhh, continental breakfast!

I use these bars for energy (quick and slow release) when I have been doing a lot of running, swimming, biking.

They are easy to make and can be cut into bars and wrapeed for when needed.

Mix half a tub of peanut butter and Honey in a microvavable bowl.Heat for a minute.

Add plenty of oats, dried fruit nuts, choc chips etc. mix it all in so you get a thick and coarse mixture. in a baking tray, line the bottom with cling film. pour in mixture and flatten out with more clingfilm on top. put in fridge for 1-2 hours. take out and cut into rectangles. Individually wrap and take with you for when needed.

Also if you want more firm bars, add plain chocolate in with the honey and peanut butter before heating (it sets in rock hard) and if you wanted added protein, just add protein powder to the mixture!

Super cheap (20-30p a bar) and you decided what you want in it!

It's getting more like 'The Hairy Hikers' on here with all these recipes!!

I did a post about food a few months ago so I'm knicking this idea from someone on that one:

make flapjack before you go-loads of energy (sugar and fat), very cheap, don't have to prepare it on the morning and it's transportable.

OR do it properly and get an IKEA non-stick frying pan, vacuum packed bacon, eggs (in a sensible place in your pack!), maybe some rolls or put it all with pancakes and maple syrup!

By the way, the minatures of spirits you can get make good bottles for oil, washing up soap, syrup etc...

*surprised at you Mick. Or are they available in multipacks at Poundland?

I've seen them in one of those cheap Freezer food shops for 2 for £1 - best before days were mid 2013.

I've took them before but still in the plastic container - when you say 'Pour & Store' bags - do you mean the proper reusable ones? Or are the ziplock freezer bags just as good? (I'm sometimes unsure about putting hot water into freezer bags...)
