Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Brown rice
- 4 cups Unsweetened almond milk (or preferred milk)
- 1 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Chopped dates (pitted, for natural sweetness)
- 0.25 cup Raisins (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the brown rice under cold water to remove excess starch and set aside.
In a medium-sized pot, combine 4 cups of unsweetened almond milk, 1 cup of water, and 1 cup of rinsed brown rice.
Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let it simmer for about 40–45 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure the rice cooks evenly and doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot.
After the rice has absorbed most of the liquid and is tender, stir in 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup of chopped dates. If using, add in the optional 1/4 cup of raisins.
Continue to cook the mixture uncovered for an additional 5–10 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the pot from heat and let the pudding cool slightly. It will thicken further as it cools.
Spoon the rice pudding into bowls, sprinkle with nutmeg for garnish if desired, and serve warm or chilled.
