Brown Rice Pudding

We had lots of left over brown rice from dinner the other night, so I thought I'd reinvent it rather than letting it go to waste.  Here's my take on a traditionally high calorie/high sugar dessert!

Low Sugar Brown Rice Pudding

 

Ingredients

3/4 cup brown rice, cooked

1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk

pinch of salt

3/4 tsp Sun Crystals (could also substitute sucanat, stevia, or honey)
1 T liquid egg substitute

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Directions

In a small saucepan, simmer rice, 3/4 cup of milk, salt, and Sun Crystals for about 15 minutes until it thickens; stir occasionally.  Add cinnamon, remaining 1/4 cup of milk, and egg substitute; simmer for another 2 minutes.  Serve warm or chilled.  

**tip** Since almond milk doesn't set like cow's milk, you may want to add a dash of arrowroot powder or cornstarch to help thicken the pudding.
