Rice is a good breakfast, but you shouldn’t eat it everyday. Harvard Medical School has shown if you eat white rice every day you are at greater risk of developing type 2 diabetes. If you are going to eat rice for breakfast then the best way to eat it is with fruit, nuts, seeds, grains, and yoghurt.

To a mixing bowl add the rice, butter, syrup, and salt. Stir just until evenly combined. Mix in cinnamon, to taste. Spoon the sweetened rice mixture out into serving bowls. Top each bowl with some of the crushed pecans & a bit of bacon, if using. Serve breakfast rice warm with an extra drizzle of syrup, as desired.
