Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cup brown rice
- 4 cups unsweetened rice milk
- 2 tablespoons stevia or another natural sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup raisins (optional)
- 0.25 cup chopped almonds (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the brown rice under cold water to remove excess starch.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rinsed brown rice with 4 cups of unsweetened rice milk.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring it to a gentle boil while stirring occasionally.
Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered.
Cook the rice milk mixture for about 45-50 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until the rice is tender and the mixture thickens.
Add stevia or your preferred natural sweetener, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt to the rice mixture. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
If using, mix in the raisins and chopped almonds and let the pudding cook for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Once the desired consistency is reached, remove the pan from heat. Allow the pudding to cool slightly; it will thicken as it cools.
Serve the rice milk pudding warm or chill it in the refrigerator for a few hours if you prefer it cold.
Garnish with a dash of cinnamon and extra almonds if desired before serving.
