Pro tip: Add a teaspoon of baking soda, they will cook faster and be creamier. Also works for grits!!

This is an excellent filling breakfast .... be aware it is a mush but absolutely delicious served with a dollop of organic butter and maple syrup! Gives me energy for a morning of exercise. Also a good breakfast if you are trying to lose weight.
