Ingredients
- 0.5 cups Uncooked white rice (short-grain or medium-grain)
- 2 cups Unsweetened almond milk (or other plant-based milk)
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts or seeds (optional, for topping)
- 0.5 cups Fresh fruit (e.g., sliced banana, berries, or diced apple; optional, for topping)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water to remove excess starch. Drain well.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, almond milk, water, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Step 4
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then immediately reduce the heat to low. Cover the saucepan with a lid, leaving it slightly ajar to prevent boiling over.
Step 5
Simmer the mixture on low heat for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. The rice should become soft and the liquid should thicken into a creamy consistency. If it gets too thick, you can add a splash of almond milk or water to adjust the texture.
Step 6
Once the rice is fully cooked, remove the saucepan from heat. Taste and adjust sweetness or cinnamon as desired.
Step 7
Divide the creamy rice cereal into two serving bowls.
Step 8
Top with chopped nuts, seeds, fresh fruit, or any other desired toppings.
Step 9
Serve warm and enjoy your comforting vegan creamy rice cereal!
