Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked brown rice
- 3 cups Unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup (or sweetener of choice)
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
- Optional toppings: fresh fruits, nuts, seeds, shredded coconut, or additional cinnamon
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the cooked brown rice, almond milk, and water. Stir well to distribute the liquid evenly.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Once the mixture begins to simmer, reduce the heat to low and stir in the maple syrup, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Continue to cook the porridge on low heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent scorching and to help the mixture thicken to your desired consistency.
Once the porridge has reached your preferred consistency, taste and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more maple syrup.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the porridge sit for a minute or two to cool slightly.
Transfer the brown rice porridge to serving bowls and top with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruits, nuts, seeds, shredded coconut, or an additional sprinkle of cinnamon.
Serve warm and enjoy your creamy, comforting bowl of brown rice porridge!
