Rich and creamy, dairy, gluten and refined sugar free, this rice (or oat groat) pudding is out of this world. Topped with fresh fruit it makes a wonderful breakfast, snack or dessert.
Rice or Oat Groat Pudding (Serves 4)
- 3 cups cooked brown rice, or ½ rice and ½ oat groats, or all oat groats
- 2 cups date sweetened almond milk (see recipe below to make your own.)
- ½ cup raisins
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Add all the ingredients in a saucepan and heat on medium until it begins to boil. Turn the heat down and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring a few times so it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.
You can eat it warm, or let it cool down and refrigerate it. It thickens up like traditional rice pudding when it cools.
This is delicious topped with fresh or frozen fruit, too.
NOTE: You can replace the raisins with dried cranberries or dates for a change of pace.
Date Sweetened Almond Milk
- 1/3 cup almonds
- 6 dates, pitted
- 1 ½ cups filtered water
Add ingredients to a blender and blend on high until smooth, 30 seconds to 2 minutes depending on your blender.
