The person who made this recipe did not know how to cook brown rice, for it always needs 3 Cups of water. Also, to make it creamy, one needs to add a creamy milk substitute such as coconut cream in a can. Also, I added 1 and 1/4 tsp. of vanilla. I am a bit lazy for spices and added pumpkin spice to taste. I am pure vegan because of health issues and have found sometimes you have to change it up.

Wow, this is pretty gross! Not sure why I was surprised though. Without milk and eggs to give it that rich creaminess, there's no way it could ever compare to traditional rice pudding. I had to load it with brown sugar to make it edible.

It's good. Very tasty. I substituted the maple syrup for honey and soaked the rice and cooked it slow to make it more softer and mushy when the whole thing was completed. I also chose not to add the nitmeg. Overall good stuff.

This really is pretty bad. Nobody would eat it. I hate to waste food, so I used it in a banana bread recipe. I just substituted 1 1/2 cups of the rice pudding for the 3-4 mashed bananas. I also used half of the sugar and added chopped pecans. It was delicious.

I dont understand how there are positive reviews (maybe they never had rice pudding before). This was so disgusting. The texture was awful -super coarse and thick. I followed the instructions in every way, and I found it weird that it tells you to boil until the liquid had completely evaporated. Doesn't make sense, felt like I was eating overcooked oatmeal. I wouldn't be ranting so much if it wasn't so bad. Sucks I wasted rice on this.
