Brown Rice Pudding With Maple Syrup

I'm always looking for ways to make desserts healthier. You could certainly use soy milk if you wanted to, and 1/2 cup of raisins can be added if you want. This recipe was originally found in Leanne Ely's "Healthy Foods." Prep time does not include cooking the rice as I usually have some leftover.

• Ready In: 15 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 1  cup cooked brown rice
• 1⁄2 cup maple syrup
• 1 3⁄4 cups milk (I use skim though 1% is probably better)
• 1  egg
• 3  egg whites
• 1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1⁄4 teaspoon nutmeg

Directions

1. Mix together all ingredients but rice in a medium pot.
2. Add the cooked rice and cook for 10 minutes over low to medium heat.
3. Serve with a little cinnamon or sweetener, if desired.
