Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup short grain white rice
- 3 cups water
- 2 cups skimmed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 0.5 cup fresh berries
Instructions
Rinse the short grain white rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch, preventing the porridge from becoming too sticky.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer the rice for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the water is nearly absorbed.
Add the skimmed milk, vanilla extract, and salt to the saucepan. Stir to combine and continue to cook uncovered over low heat for another 10-15 minutes.
Stir the porridge frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom. The porridge should become creamy and thickened.
Once the desired consistency is reached, remove from heat and stir in the ground cinnamon and maple syrup.
Serve the low-fat creamy rice porridge warm in bowls, topped with fresh berries.
Optional: For added flavor, consider topping with a sprinkle of additional cinnamon or a few chopped nuts as a garnish.
