How to Make Healthy Rice Pudding

  1. In a medium saucepan, bring 5 1/2 cups of water to a boil.
  2. Add 1 cup of uncooked long-grain rice and stir to combine.
  3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender but not mushy, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. In a separate saucepan, combine the cooked rice with 4 1/2 cups of unsweetened almond milk (or other milk alternative), 1/4 cup of sugar substitute (such as stevia or erythritol), and 1/4 teaspoon of salt substitute.
  5. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens to a creamy consistency, about 15-20 minutes.
  6. Stir in 1 1/2 cups of unsweetened almond milk (or other milk alternative), 2 tablespoons of egg beaters, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1/2 cup of raisins.
  7. Cook for 2 more minutes, stirring constantly, until heated through.
  8. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  9. Serve warm or chilled. Garnish with extra cinnamon and raisins, if desired.
