Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 1 cup brown rice Make sure it’s rinsed well.
  • 4 cups almond milk You can use any plant-based or dairy milk you prefer.
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup Adjust sweetness according to your preference.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup raisins (optional) Try chopped nuts or dried cranberries for a twist.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Rinse the brown rice under cold water until the water runs clear, about 2 minutes.
  2. In a pot, combine the rinsed rice, almond milk, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Give it a stir to mix everything together.
Cooking
  1. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent sticking. Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low to maintain a gentle simmer.
  2. Cover and simmer for 40-45 minutes. Stir occasionally until rice is tender and creamy.
  3. Stir in raisins if using, and let the pudding sit, covered, off the heat for about 10 minutes.
Serving
  1. Serve warm or chilled, topped with extra cinnamon or some fresh fruits.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. For a thicker pudding, cool it completely in the fridge as it will thicken further when chilled.
