Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
• 2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
• 3 tablespoons maple syrup (or sweetener of choice)
• 0.5 cups raisins
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg (optional)
• 1 pinch pinch of salt

Directions

Step 1

Place the cooked rice, almond milk, and maple syrup in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.

Step 2

Stir the mixture to combine and bring it to a gentle simmer.

Step 3

Add the raisins, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg (if using), and a pinch of salt. Stir well.

Step 4

Cook the pudding for 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens to your desired consistency. Lower the heat if it starts to stick to the bottom of the pan.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the pudding rest for a few minutes to cool slightly. It will thicken further as it cools.

Step 6

Serve warm or chilled, garnished with an extra sprinkle of cinnamon or a handful of raisins, if desired.
