I recently became aware of something called “hot” rice pudding. Can you believe I spent the first 27 years of my life without knowing about this delicious stuff?
Well, it’s true.
I only knew about cold rice pudding, which, if you think about it, is nothing like the warm stuff.
Anyways, this recipe is great for meal prepping breakfast because it makes 4 nice sized cups. I especially like it because the maple and cinnamon flavors really soak into the rice during the hour it simmers on the stove. Of course, it’s also a fantastic way to switch things up if you fall into the oatmeal for breakfast everyday trap like me.
If give this rice pudding a try, don’t forget to snap a pic and tag it #thedietchef

January 12, 2018 at 7:33 pmAlso just curious, but if there is 682 calorie in one cup of uncooked brown rice how does the nutritional value divided by 4 yield only 120 calories?
