  • Number of Servings: 5
Ingredients
1 cup short grain brown rice3.5 cups skim milk1/2 tsp salt3 T pure maple syrup1.5 T honey (can also use 4.5 T of your choice- honey or maple syrup)1/2 tsp vanilla extract1/2 t cinnamondash of nutmeg1/2 cup raisins
Directions
1) Rinse the rice in a strainer. Drain well and place in a sauce pan with 3 cups milk. Bring to a boil, cover, and lower heat as much as possible. Simmer until the rice is very tender. This will take up to 1 1/2 hrs. (To make with leftover cooked rice- place 2 cups cooked rice in a saucepan with 1 cup milk. Heat to boiling, lower heat to a simmer, and cook, covered, for 20 - 30 minutes or until the milk is mostly absorbed. Add remaining ingredients and mix well).
2) About 1 hour into the cooking, stir in salt, sweetening, vanilla, spices, and raisins.
3) Optional step- If you want an extra thick and creamy pudding, puree about 1 cup of the rice in a blender with an additional 1/2 cup milk. Return the puree to the rest of the rice and mix well. (the extra 1/2 cup milk is part of the nutrition calculation because I really like this step)!
4) Sprinkle a little cinnamon and/or nutmeg on top before serving as a finishing touch. Serve at room temperature or cold.
