Rice Pudding

Traditional rice pudding contains cream, eggs, and sugar. You’ll find none of that here. You will find healthful whole-grain brown rice, raisins, creamy Greek yogurt, and lovely flavor from real vanilla bean and cinnamon. Eat any leftovers for breakfast.

Ingredients

serves 4

2 cups water
Pinch of salt
5 packets (17.5 g) Truvia
1/4 vanilla bean, split, seeds scraped out and reserved
1/2 cup long-grain brown rice
1/4 cup raisins
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1/4 cup skim milk
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  1. Step 1

    Combine the water, salt, Truvia, vanilla bean and seeds, and rice in a medium saucepan, and bring to a simmer. Cover, and reduce the heat to low. Simmer gently for 55 minutes.

    Step 2

    Stir in the raisins and continue to cook until almost all the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is tender, about 15 minutes.

    Step 3

    Allow the rice mixture to cool for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a medium bowl, discarding the vanilla pod. Stir in the yogurt, milk, and cinnamon. Adjust the consistency with a little water, if desired. Serve warm.
