Have you ever tried bacon on your porridge? 🥓🥣

It’s International Bacon Day, so we’ve given our porridge a savoury twist!

Our crispy bacon & cheddar porridge combines creamy Hamlyns Scottish porridge oats with crispy smoked bacon, mature cheddar, fresh chives and plenty of black pepper.

It’s a deliciously different way to enjoy your morning oats.

What do you think? Bacon on porridge – yes or no?

Pistachio lovers - you need to try these! 💚

Our oat, pistachio & white chocolate cookies are packed with wholesome Hamlyns Scottish Porridge Oats, crunchy pistachios and creamy white chocolate.

They’re perfectly crisp around the edges and soft and chewy in the middle.

And there’s no waiting around for cookie dough to chill. Mix, scoop and bake for just 10 to 12 minutes.

We like to scatter a few extra chopped pistachios over the top when they’re just out of the oven, for a little extra crunch and those lovely flashes of green.

Let us know if you try them.

Today marks the start of Scottish Food & Drink September, a month-long celebration of the people, products and produce that make Scotland’s food and drink sector so special.

This year's theme is 'Every bite tells a story'.

At Hamlyns of Scotland, our story starts with Scottish oats, grown on Scottish farms and milled at our oat mill in Banffshire.

From a warming bowl of porridge to home baking, overnight oats, biscuits and cakes, savoury dishes, granola, skirlie and stuffing, and so much more, there are endless ways to enjoy our oats.

What’s your favourite way to enjoy Hamlyns Scottish Porridge Oats or Oatmeal? 🥣

We absolutely love marzipan, but it’s one of those ingredients that most of us only use over the festive season.

So when two-time World Porridge Making Champion Lisa Williams sent us her recipe for marzipan flapjacks, we couldn’t wait to try it.

Lisa says that these as her favourite flapjacks ever and we have to agree! She even made them for Jay Rayner when she went to a recording of Radio 4’s ‘Kitchen Cabinet’.

Golden, chewy and packed with oats and marzipan, they’re impossible to resist if you’re a fellow marzipan lover!

A huge thank you to Lisa for sharing the recipe with us 🥰

Do you love marzipan? If so save this recipe and let us know what you think.

🍌 Did you know that bananas are the world's most popular fruit by volume of production and global consumption, with over 130 million tonnes produced each year?

As today is Banana Lovers Day, we thought you might like to try Rory Lovie's Banana, oat and pecan Cookies, combining ripe bananas with Scottish oats, tahini and crunchy pecans for a delicious homemade treat that’s perfect for banana fans.

Today is International Dog Day so we’ve written a blog answering something we’re asked a lot...can dogs eat porridge? 🐶🥣

For most healthy dogs, the answer is yes.

Plain oats can be enjoyed by dogs in moderation and will provide carbohydrates, fibre and a range of useful nutrients.

The best option for dogs is plain porridge made with oats and water, without salt, sugar, syrup or other toppings.

They’re also great for homemade dog treats.

Read our blog - linked in the comments below - to find out all about oats for dogs, and get recipes for homemade dog treats.

And if your dog loves oats, we’d love to see a photo of them enjoying their porridge or homemade dog treats!

We’re looking forward to supporting our friends at Garioch Community Kitchen at next Sunday's Taste of Garioch event in Inverurie.

The town centre will be buzzing throughout the afternoon with local food and drink producers, vendors, food vans, and artisan makers.

Make sure you stop by the Garioch Community Kitchen stand to find out more about the fantastic work they do – and make sure you try their delicious oat muffins made with Hamlyns Porridge Oats! 😋

You could even take on the Buttery Challenge: a 60-second eating contest with a cash prize up for grabs!

It's going to be a great celebration of local food and the people who make it happen.

National Plum Day is on Sunday, and if you have some plums at home, we think you'll love this recipe 💜

These plum and cinnamon oat crumble muffins are packed with juicy chopped plums and warm cinnamon, then finished with a crumble topping made with Hamlyns Scottish Porridge Oats, butter and Demerara sugar.

If you REALLY love cinnamon, you could add some extra into the crumble topping too.

They’re quick to make and delicious freshly baked with a cup of tea, or served warm for dessert with cream or custard.

🥔 For National Potato Day we're sharing one of the most popular recipes on our website – crispy skirlie smashed potatoes.

Crispy, golden smashed potatoes topped with traditional Scottish skirlie made with Hamlyns Scottish Oatmeal and buttery onions.

It's the ultimate Scottish comfort food. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

If you haven't tried skirlie with your roasties before, we highly recommend trying this recipe. And if you have tried it, you’ll know exactly why it’s such a favourite!

We also love adding skirlie to buttery mash.

What's your favourite form of potatoes?
