If you've ever wondered how to make rice pudding that's creamy, yet fluffy and nutritious, this is the recipe for you. It's delightful for breakfast, a healthy snack or dessert.
Feel free to substitute a medium grain brown rice for the brown aromatic rice. The aromatic rice just has a better flavor and a bit more fiber.
Brown Rice Pudding
- 1/2 cup brown aromatic rice, such as brown jasmine or brown basmati
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 can light coconut milk, such as Taste of Thai
- 1-1/3 cups nonfat milk
- 1/2 cup liquid egg substitute, such as Egg Beaters
- 1 tsp. almond extract

Serve with sliced bananas and brown sugar on top, if desired.
