Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups Uncooked white rice (short-grain or medium-grain)
- 2 cups Unsweetened almond milk (or other plant-based milk)
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts or seeds (optional, for topping)
- 0.5 cups Fresh fruit (e.g., sliced banana, berries, or diced apple; optional, for topping)
Instructions
Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water to remove excess starch. Drain well.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, almond milk, water, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then immediately reduce the heat to low. Cover the saucepan with a lid, leaving it slightly ajar to prevent boiling over.
Simmer the mixture on low heat for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. The rice should become soft and the liquid should thicken into a creamy consistency. If it gets too thick, you can add a splash of almond milk or water to adjust the texture.
Once the rice is fully cooked, remove the saucepan from heat. Taste and adjust sweetness or cinnamon as desired.
Divide the creamy rice cereal into two serving bowls.
Top with chopped nuts, seeds, fresh fruit, or any other desired toppings.
Serve warm and enjoy your comforting vegan creamy rice cereal!
