Runeberg's Porridge

From a pastry into a porridge theme continues... I've previously made cinnamon bun oatmeal and pumpkin porridge. This time I transformed our national poet's pastry into a porridge. Don't be intimidated by the yoghurt on the porridge, it's delicious! I often eat my oatmeal porridge with it (as long as the porridge isn't boiling hot it works really well!). When I first learned of such a combination I thought it sounded horrible but still decided to try it once and was immediately hooked.

Don't forget the rum, it suits well in this decadent breakfast...

Cook your oatmeal according to the packet's instructions (I mostly use instant oats).
