Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Arborio rice
- 2 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 3 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 cup Raisins
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts; optional)
- Fresh fruit for topping (e.g., berries, sliced banana; optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large oven-safe baking dish, combine the Arborio rice, unsweetened almond milk, coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, raisins, orange zest, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil to retain moisture while baking.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes.
At the 30-minute mark, carefully remove the dish from the oven, uncover, and stir the risotto to ensure even cooking.
Re-cover the dish with the foil and return it to the oven for the remaining 10 minutes, or until the rice is tender and creamy.
Once cooked, remove the baking dish from the oven and let the risotto sit for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
Serve warm, topped with optional chopped nuts and fresh fruit for added texture and flavor.
