Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Brown rice
- 2.5 cups Water
- 2 cups Unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 0.5 cup Coconut milk (optional, for extra creaminess)
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 cup Raisins (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Rinse the brown rice under cold water to remove excess starch.
In a medium saucepan, combine the brown rice and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
Once boiling, lower the heat to a simmer and cover the pan. Cook the rice for about 30-35 minutes, or until most of the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
Stir in the almond milk, coconut milk (if using), maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking, stirring frequently, for about 15-20 minutes. The mixture will thicken and become creamy.
If using, stir in the raisins in the last 5 minutes of cooking.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the pudding sit for a few minutes to further thicken.
Serve warm or chilled, optionally garnished with additional cinnamon, nuts, or fresh fruit on top.
