Simple Whole food Ingredients

For this creamy brown rice pudding, you’ll need only 5 simple ingredients. It is free of sugar and other harmful processed stuff. Here is what you need:

• cooked brown rice – this is why this recipe is so quick, it uses cooked rice. Cook the rice in advance or use leftover rice and then you have your pudding ready in minutes.
• plant-based milk – feel free to use any unsweetened dairy-free milk – almond, soy, oat, etc. I used almond milk for this recipe as I had one opened in the fridge.
• mashed banana – it sweetens the rice pudding naturally and makes it even more creamy.
• dates – I usually make it with 1 date only, but you can chop 2 or more for a sweeter flavor. For alternatives to dates, you can try raisins, cranberries, or dried figs. You can also omit dried fruit if you prefer.
• cinnamon – pairs perfectly with the rice pudding and gives it a wonderful scent
