Oat Porridge – Kaurapuuro

This is THE classical Finnish breakfast. Nowadays, you find all kind of additions like berries, nuts, cottage cheese or similar. Every day care serves this to their kids for breakfast. It is even sometimes served at business meetings, if they are very early in the day. It is usually done with water and then topped with berries or cinnamon-sugar.

Ingredients (for one bowl)

1 dl Oat Flakes

2 dl Water

A pinch of salt

Instructions:

Mix the ingredients in a bowl. Put them into the microwave (without a lid) on full power for 2 minutes. At least in my microwave 3 minutes are too much. So to avoid a mess in you microwave, I suggest 2 minutes stir then and check and if needed give it another 30 seconds.

Let it cool for a few minutes else you will burn your mouth.
