Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked brown rice
- 2.5 cups Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Raisins (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts, such as almonds or pecans (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the cooked brown rice, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom.
Lower the heat to medium-low and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and becomes creamy, about 20-25 minutes.
If desired, stir in the raisins during the last 5 minutes of cooking to soften them and infuse their sweetness into the pudding.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the pudding to cool slightly. It will thicken further as it cools.
Serve the pudding warm or chilled, topped with chopped nuts for added texture and flavor, if desired.
Enjoy your homemade brown rice pudding with a drizzle of additional maple syrup, if preferred!
