Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup white short-grain rice
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup canned coconut milk
- 2 cups almond milk
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup chopped nuts (optional)
- 0.5 cup fresh berries (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for about 15 minutes until most of the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
Stir in the coconut milk and almond milk. Increase the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Add maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Continue to simmer, stirring frequently, for about 15-20 minutes until the mixture thickens to your desired porridge consistency.
Taste and adjust sweetness or spices if needed.
Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm, topped with chopped nuts and fresh berries, if desired.
