Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked brown rice
- 2 cups Skim milk (or unsweetened almond milk)
- 1 cup Water
- 1 medium, diced Apple
- 1 medium, diced Pear
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Zero-calorie sweetener (like stevia or monk fruit)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped walnuts or almonds (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the cooked brown rice, skim milk (or almond milk), and water. Stir well to combine.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the liquid begins to simmer, add the diced apple, diced pear, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and vanilla extract. Stir to incorporate the flavors.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture cook for about 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has thickened and the rice has absorbed most of the moisture. The fruit should be tender.
Taste the pudding and add the zero-calorie sweetener to your liking. Stir well to evenly distribute the sweetness.
Remove the pudding from the heat and let it sit for 5 minutes to further thicken.
Spoon the pudding into 4 serving bowls. If desired, garnish with chopped walnuts or almonds for a bit of crunch.
Serve warm, or let it cool to room temperature and refrigerate for a chilled version. Enjoy!
