You
will find the "Maple-Baked Rice Pudding with Dried Cranberries" (page
475) in the dessert section of this book, but I prepared it for breakfast, as I
love hot rice with sweetener and soymilk for morning fare. This dish requires
cooked rice, so you will have to plan ahead a bit, but otherwise you'll find
this is a super simple dish to prepare. Cooked rice is combined with soymilk,
maple syrup, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and cranberries (or raisins) and baked
in the oven until hot and slightly thickened. You might want to start slow with
the sweeteners and taste the mixture before adding the full measure. I omitted
the sugar altogether, as the maple syrup and dried fruit made the entire dish
plenty sweet. The recipe doesn't specify white or brown rice, but I used brown.
Wonderful hot out of the oven, or even at room temperature, but the rice tends
to stiffen a little if served cold.

Use brown rice instead of white.
Hi Becky
ReplyDeleteThat looks very good! For me that would be a great comfort food come autumn. The seasons turn fast enough! I imagine the cranberries add a tartness which is balanced by the syrup. Great idea to have that for breakfast. Thanks!
You're welcome, Jennifer! :-)
DeleteHi Becky! That rice pudding looks great. I love rice pudding for breakfast as well, especially in the winter/colder weather. Although made without much sugar as yours is, it would probably also make for a good dessert at night, as I don't like to eat much sugar at night. Maple syrup is good for making things without as much sweetener since it tastes so strong (and by strong, I mean good!).
ReplyDeleteThanks Danielle! Yes, I much prefer maple syrup to most other sweeteners, whenever possible, as a little really does go a long way, and the flavor is so outstanding. I could also eat this for dessert!
DeleteLove your blog. Found it AFTER I had already bought the cookbook, but a picture is worth a thousand words! Keep up the good work, please!
