Rice Pudding with Raisins and Cinnamon

Due to my food sensitivities , I make a lot of rice. One of my favorite things to do with leftover rice is to make rice pudding for breakfast . My “secret” is adding an egg to make it more custard like and  to add some protein to a carb heavy dish.

I used to make this for my kids when they were little with cow’s milk and sugar. Now that I have to avoid both, I make it with Rice Dream rice milk . I find that rice milk sweetens the rice pudding enough, so I don’t add any extra sweetener.

This dish is gluten free , soy free, sugar free, and milk free.

• If you want your rice pudding sweeter, but don’t want to add calories, add 1/2 teaspoon of Stevia Extract in the Raw to the recipe.
• Experiment with different types of dried fruit such as dried cranberries or dried cherries.
• If you don’t like rice milk, you can use cow’s milk or sweetened coconut, almond or soy milk. Vanilla “milks” would be delicious, too!
• To lower the fat and calories, use egg whites instead of an egg.
