Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup (or sweetener of choice)
- 0.5 cups raisins
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg (optional)
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
Place the cooked rice, almond milk, and maple syrup in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
Stir the mixture to combine and bring it to a gentle simmer.
Add the raisins, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg (if using), and a pinch of salt. Stir well.
Cook the pudding for 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens to your desired consistency. Lower the heat if it starts to stick to the bottom of the pan.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the pudding rest for a few minutes to cool slightly. It will thicken further as it cools.
Serve warm or chilled, garnished with an extra sprinkle of cinnamon or a handful of raisins, if desired.
