the malt loaf has been hit on a couple of times so far - definitely have to look into that. Porridge is not something I'm over keen on, but I'll give it a whirl 🙂
I too am not keep on porridge as it comes. Personally I have a teaspoon of honey on it too as it makes it nice to the taste (if you like honey) but is neither bad for you as straight forward sugar or salt.
Whilst out riding I also find that a piece of flapjack (made from porridge) and mixed dried fruit from Holland & Barratt is good. It tastes good and has a slow release of carbs.
There are lots of other things too in health shops that are better value for money than some of the stuff sold in bike shops with fancy names and wrappers.
simple sugars still provoke a sugar rush/crash effect. I suppose the same can be said of my favourite, bananas, which contain lots of fructose, sucrose and glucose
Worth mentioning, perhaps, that (AFAIUI) fructose doesn't trigger an insulin response.

Unless you already have significant blood glucose levels, apparently:
"The insulinotropic action of intravenous fructose was examined in 24 subjects without known metabolic disease. When blood glucose values before the fructose infusion were at or below normal fasting levels, fructose elicited only a small plasma insulin response. In contrast, the insulin response was strikingly augmented when preinfusion blood glucose and plasma insulin levels were moderately elevated. The insulinotropic action of fructose appears closely related to the preinfusion blood glucose level. Fructose has little or no insulinotropic action in the absence of glucose but potentiates glucose- mediated insulin release."

Twenty four people shot up with fruit juice. If they did it when they were hungry nothing happened but if they did it after eating a few spoonfuls of sugar they had a bad trip.
