Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Brown rice (uncooked)
- 2 cups Water
- 1 cup Pureed pumpkin (canned or fresh)
- 1.5 cups Milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Dark brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Raisins (optional)
- 0.25 cup Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- optional Whipped cream or coconut cream (for serving)
Instructions
Rinse the brown rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
In a medium saucepan, bring the 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the brown rice and a pinch of salt. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 30 minutes, or until the rice is tender and most of the water is absorbed.
Once the rice is cooked, keep the heat on low and stir in the milk, pureed pumpkin, maple syrup, dark brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
Continue cooking the mixture on low heat while stirring frequently for about 10-15 minutes, or until it thickens to a pudding-like consistency. If the mixture becomes too thick, you can add a bit more milk to reach your desired texture.
If using raisins, stir them in during the last 5 minutes of cooking to allow them to soften and plump up.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the pudding cool for 5-10 minutes. The pudding will thicken slightly as it cools.
Spoon the pudding into serving bowls. If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts on top for added crunch and flavor.
Serve warm or chilled, with a dollop of whipped cream or coconut cream if you like. Enjoy!
