Ingredients
1/2 cup medium-grain brown rice
~2 cups milk, divided
pinch salt
1/8 tsp. cinnamon
1 and 1/2 Tbsp. ground flax seeds
1/2 Tbsp. pure maple syrup + more to taste (other liquid sweeteners would work, too!)
splash pure vanilla extract
coconut butter (optional)
chopped figs (optional)
Instructions
Add rice, 1 and 1/2 cups milk, salt, and cinnamon to a small pot. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 25-35 minutes. Near the end of the cooking time, add 1/4 – 1/2 cup of the remaining milk (depending on the creaminess you desire), keeping in mind that the rice should not absorb all of the milk. You’ll need this residual milk for the flax seeds. Remove rice mixture from heat once rice is tender.
Stir in ground flax, maple syrup, and vanilla. Top with desired toppings. Serve hot, at room temperature, or cold.
