    Whilst the pics are great - it would be nice if you could post the cooking times and temps please - I would rather not waste packs experimenting when someone seems to have the perfect receipe. Please post the info Thanks very much.

    For those of you wanting the cooking instructions for these I've managed to eventually find them on here, so here you go.

    Add very small amounts of cold water until it looks like a thick paste like cake mix.

    Then spoon out onto baking tray dividing it into any sizes you like and bake at 150 degrees for 20 mins. To avoid them sticking use a decent quality non-stick / parchment / baking paper or invest in a silicone baking sheet which are brilliant. I'm going to start making them in batches so I've got them ready if I want to have them for one of my meals.

    Did you try the biscuits Marge?

    I tried twice and didn't really enjoy them. Found them a bit of a funny texture cold and hot

    Just a small thought, perhaps make sure to drink an extra glass of water on the days you're having the porridge biscuits. Simply because you use far less water to make them as opposed to the porridge. And the baking would extract more moisture.
    If you think you can do a thing or you think you can't, either way you're right. - Henry Ford

    How to make porridge biscuits in pictures

    These look amazing! I am totally going to give these a try. I have to say that I love the porridge as it is but it's always good to have some options. I will get some cinnamon and give it a go!

    Ok I think mine went wrong, made this morning to take to work and they went all smooth on top then stuck to baking paper!!! (I've never stuck anything to my paper) tried one and it was still soft inside like a cake so although brown on top too gooey inside I will attempt again tomorrow as I like the idea of biscuits at break time.

    Am I correct in the thinking baking kills off some nutrients? like Cambridge says.
    Think I need less water in them on next lots will post again xxx
