How to Make Brown Rice Pumpkin Pudding

  1. Rinse 1 cup of brown rice thoroughly in a fine-mesh strainer under cold running water.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 3 cups whole milk, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves and the milk is warmed through (do not boil).
  3. Add the rinsed brown rice to the warm milk mixture. Stir to combine.
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for approximately 50-60 minutes, or until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. Stir occasionally and add more milk if needed to prevent sticking or dryness.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, ½ cup dried cranberries (or other dried fruit), 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
  6. Serve warm in individual bowls. Top each serving with 2 tablespoons chopped pecans, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and a light dusting of cinnamon.
