Black Vanilla Rice with Nectarine and Buckwheat Brittle

A couple of weeks ago I bought a rice cooker and had to try it immediately. So I cooked some rice in the middle of the night, when I got home that day ?. I ate it the next morning with yoghurt, banana and cacao nibs for breakfast. I liked it very much and it kept me satisfied over a long time. So I am having rice for breakfast more often now.

I bought the black sticky rice, that I used for this dish, in an asian supermarket. I planned to make rice balls with it. Believe it or not: Sticky rice isn’t sticky anymore when you mix it with sticky maple syrup…

So I poured it in a bowl, added a nectarine and sprinkled it with buckwheat brittle. Before eating, I added some ice-cold oat milk. Delicious! I am sharing the recipe with you, of course. Enjoy!

Love,
