Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cooked white rice
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 2 cups Water
- 1 cup Milk (or dairy-free alternative)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Butter (optional, for serving)
- as desired Fresh fruit or nuts (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, water, milk, brown sugar (if using), vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer the oatmeal for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
While the oatmeal is cooking, reheat the cooked white rice if it is cold. You can do this in the microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of water to prevent drying out.
When the oatmeal is ready, add the reheated rice to the saucepan. Stir to combine the oatmeal and rice evenly.
Cook the mixture for another 2-3 minutes on low heat, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Taste and adjust sweetness or seasoning, if needed.
Serve hot in bowls. Optionally, top with a small pat of butter, fresh fruit, or nuts for extra flavor and texture.
