Healthy Brown Rice Pudding

Submitted by JoyceJoann

"Brown rice and milk, lightly sweetened, makes a good treat or fun breakfast. This makes a big batch, so my 3 kids and I can have it for breakfast a couple times, and also for snacks. This recipe is based on "rockin' rice pudding", but after all the changes, I needed to enter it on its own. Short grain brown rice is especially good for rice pudding, but we usually use long grain or basmati brown rice, as it's what we have on hand."
