Reviews
Please add 1 cup of water to the dry ingredients before turning on the stove! The recipe writer forgot to mention that 1 cup of water. Maybe this is good with a splash of Rice Dream, too? I omitted the nuts due to my allergies.
This recipe omits the necessary 1 cup of water or milk. You can’t make it without it.
Made exactally as instructed. Super dry….I ended up pouring some milk in the mix.
This is so good! Yum! I did add a couple of tablespoons of sugar so mine wasn’t as healthy as the author intended. Don’t skip the honey/coconut oil sauce. It makes the recipe.
