Ingredients

• 1 cup short-grain white rice
• 2 cups water
• 1 cup canned coconut milk
• 1 cup almond milk
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup fresh fruit (such as sliced bananas or berries)
• 0.25 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. This will remove excess starch and help prevent the porridge from becoming too sticky.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice with water over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 10 minutes until most of the water is absorbed.

Step 3

Stir in the coconut milk, almond milk, and a pinch of salt. Increase the heat to medium and bring back to a simmer. Stir frequently as it cooks to avoid sticking and to encourage a creamy texture.

Step 4

Let the mixture simmer, stirring occasionally, for another 15-20 minutes or until the rice is soft and the porridge has achieved the desired creaminess. If it becomes too thick, you can add a bit more almond milk or water to adjust the consistency.

Step 5

Once the rice is fully cooked and creamy, stir in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Adjust the sweetness according to your taste by adding more maple syrup if desired.

Step 6

Remove from heat and ladle the porridge into bowls. Top each serving with fresh fruits and a sprinkle of chopped nuts for extra flavor and texture.

Step 7

Serve warm and enjoy your creamy, satisfying vegan rice porridge as a nutritious breakfast or comforting snack.
