Breakfast Rice Recipe
Breakfast rice is a deliciously sweet way to use up any leftover rice and breathe new life into your morning meal. Substitute your bowl of oatmeal for this yummy treat any day.
I’m all about using up leftovers and making mornings as quick and easy as possible.
This breakfast rice does both of those things.
It uses up leftover rice from last night’s dinner and makes my mornings more delicious and easier.
Ingredients
To make this you’ll need:
- Rice– Steamed white rice. You could use brown rice too, or whatever unseasoned rice you have on hand.
- Butter– Salted or unsalted doesn’t matter. Melt it.
- Maple syrup– If you have it, use the real stuff.
- Spices– Salt and cinnamon
- Pecans– Crushed
- Bacon– Totally optional but if you use it make sure it’s cooked crisply and crumbled.
How to Make
Stir the rice, butter, syrup, maple syrup, salt, and cinnamon together in a mixing bowl.
Spoon the mixture into serving bowls.
Top each bowl with crushed pecans and crumbled bacon.
Serve warm, drizzled with syrup.
Enjoy!
Can I serve this with milk?
You could add a little warm milk to this breakfast rice for more of a porridge style meal.
Storing leftovers
Store leftover breakfast rice for up to 3 days in the fridge.
You may have to add a little liquid and more maple syrup before reheating it.
Tips and Tricks
- You could add other toppings to this like raisins or other fruit.
- The cinnamon is optional. You could substitute pumpkin pie spice or omit it altogether if you don’t like it.
- Don’t have maple syrup? Use brown sugar or honey.
