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

How many servings does this make?
It makes 4 servings.
And could you substitute quinoa for the rice?
Also 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?
