Creamy Brown Rice Pudding

This is a pretty good recipe, simple and the kids like it. For me it was WAAAAY too sweet. I had to add more rice and milk after starting this batch with the recommended half cup of maple syrup. In the end I made a double recipe without adding more syrup and that was better. I also used far less raisins than the recipe calls for. I guess it depends on how much you like raisins. My other tweak to this one was I used salted butter and added about a tsp of salt. It was too bland without it.

I had a small container of brown rice from Chinese take-out that measured two cups. Used 1/4 cup of Sugar in the Raw as the sweetening agent, one small "lunchbox" size box of organic dark raisins, non-fat Lactaid milk, and added some vanilla extract. Cooked for 15 minutes and stirred frequently, as suggested, which took care of the film that developed across the top of the mixture. Forgot to add the butter and cinnamon and ate half of it still very warm instead of dinner. Very good. I'll add cinnamon to the rest and find that butter is totally unnecessary. It really is creamy!

Love this recipe its cooling down as I type this. I taste tested it already. Going to give it to my son for a treat tonight. I added a pinch of salt, cooked it with rice milk(my son is allergic to cow's milk) and 1 mushed up banana as well and it went along nicely. I added about 3/4 the maple syrup and it seems fine. I'll sprinkle a little brown sugar on top for extra sweetness if needed. Thank you I've never made rice pudding before and it turned out great:)

so... second time around made this even better!! I made it before with chopped prunes and 1/4 C honey... was a bit too sweet for me. This time I made it with chopped apricots and NO HONEY... added a dash of vanilla, a dash of salt, and a drizzle of Agave syrup, used no other spices or seasonings... allowed the flavor of the brown rice and apricots to blend nicely... THIS WAS THE BEST!!

Fabulous pudding... Considering the other reviews, I gradually added in some agave nectar and brown rice syrup, adding a little at a time as the mixture cooked and tasting it for sweetness. I used sweet brown rice and coconut milk. I did not add the butter. (the coconut milk is already so rich) As for the spice, I used all cinnamon, though ended up sprinkling in some nutmeg for my own serving. It truly was a lovely treat. Thank you for the recipe!

I was so excited when I found this recipe - I don't each much white rice, as I'm much more fond of the healthier brown stuff! I made this with two small changes: following the reviews, I used 1/4 cup of maple syrup, and instead of dark raisins, used 1/2 cup each of golden raisins and dried cranberries - both heaping 1/2 cups in honour of Syd! This turned out wonderful! It would make a healthy and delicious breakfast - which is what we're planning to use it for. Thanks for another wonderful recipe, Syd! Made for PRMR Tag.

Yummy but if I were to make it again, I'd definitely cut back on the maple syrup, esp. if I were to add raisins again. But definitely a fun way to eat brown rice.

I used the maple syrup and found it too sweet. My DH who loves rice pudding didn't think it was sweet enough! Just ok in our books.

This is delicious! I made it with honey, and I used skim milk. The skim milk worked fine, but it took more stirring. Next time I will try it with maple syrup. The honey makes it a little too sweet. A keeper, for sure!

This is a delicious rice pudding recipe. I made it with unsweetened almond milk (for an even healthier dessert) with real maple syrup and nutmeg was my choice of spice and it was perfect. I'm now making it for the second time. I'm also thinking this would be great with chocolate almond milk and a little raw cacao powder - I'll have to try that next time!

Awesome, I loved it. The only thing I would do differently next time is use less raisins. I used 1cup and it is a lot of raisins, but still really good.

I love the idea of the brown rice, as it is all that I use now when preparing rice. This surely is creamy and every bite was yummy!

This was good. I used honey and 1/2 cup was just too sweet. Next time I'll only use 1/4C and see how that goes.

A wonderful, light, delightful dessert. I used maple syrup, and have now found a way for my picky daughter to enjoy raisins. I used cinnamon and it made for a delightful dessert for us all A real keeper here.

This recipe worked out perfectly! Thank you for a healthy and tasty dessert to share with my family! I chose the real maple syrup and did not add raisins. ;-)

I'm transitioning my cooking to whole grains, no dairy, etc. and had a panful of overcooked brown rice. I tried this recipe using vanilla, almond milk, rice nectar, left out the butter and decreased the cinnamon to 3/4 teaspoon. Rice Pudding is one of my husband's favorite desserts and this passed muster with him when it was both warm and cold. Thanks for helping me convince my husband that he can eat foods he likes and that are healthy!

I discovered this while searching for a way to use up a huge batch of cooked brown rice. I am so glad I did. This is a wonderful dessert and so easy to make! I substituted 1/4 cup of agave nectar for the honey. Next time I will use even less, because with a cup of raisins, it was almost too sweet. I look forward to experimenting with additional add-ins to boost the nutrition. (Slivered almonds, chopped walnuts, canned pumpkin, and flax seeds come to mind.) Thanks so much!

This was really good! Never had rice pudding before so I don't have anything to compare it to. Really simple recipe and it's now my go-to dessert. My changes: used rice milk instead of cows and chopped dates instead of raisins. For an extra healthy kick I added 3 mashed bananas at the end.

YUM-MY! My boys loved it and requested that they have some n their lunch. My mods were: 1 tsp vanilla,a pinch of cardamom and about 1/4 cup of honey (it was plenty sweet). I made more brown rice today so we could have it again soon.
