How to Make Light Baked Rice Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Cook 1 cup short-grain rice according to package directions. Set aside to cool completely.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup egg substitute, 2 cups whole milk, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until thoroughly combined but not foamy.
  4. Gently stir in the cooled cooked rice and 1/2 cup raisins. (Optional: Add 1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest)
  5. Generously spray a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  6. Pour the rice mixture into the prepared casserole dish.
  7. Place the casserole dish in a larger baking pan.
  8. Carefully pour boiling water into the baking pan until it reaches a depth of 1 inch.
  9. Bake uncovered for 45-55 minutes, or until the pudding is set and lightly golden on top. Stir gently after 35 minutes to prevent sticking.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving warm or chilled. Sprinkle with ground cinnamon, if desired.
