This is almost like rice pudding, it's a stick-to-your-ribs breakfast! Don't worry about adding raw eggs, they will cook completely in the porridge! This can also be made in the microwave, but you will need to remove a couple of times to stir.

My Mama Bear made this for us all the time! Even oatmeal haters might like this version. It's sweet and custardy, and keeps you full 'till lunchtime. By the way, don't balk at the 'raw eggs' that get stirred in - the hot porridge cooks them completely. Bears prefer honey, but brown sugar can be used instead.
