Brown Rice Pudding
Description
In this Brown Rice Pudding, brown rice is first boiled and simmered until tender, retaining its characteristic chew and whole grain flavor. After resting, the rice is combined with milk, evaporated milk, sugar, and cinnamon, then simmered uncovered while stirred frequently to develop a thick, creamy pudding consistency.
Vanilla extract is added at the end to introduce floral sweetness, and raisins are stirred in to provide bursts of concentrated fruit flavor. The finished pudding has a dense, creamy texture balanced by chewy rice grains and soft sweet raisins, with warm cinnamon notes throughout.
Variations include slow cooker preparation for hands-off cooking, vegan options substituting plant-based milks and coconut milk for richness, and alternative sweeteners like honey or maple syrup to suit dietary preferences. This pudding serves well warm or chilled as a comforting dessert or snack.

- 2 cups water
- 1 cup brown rice uncooked

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 - 1 cups raisins
Instructions
