This recipe is a great way to use leftover cooked soaked brown rice. It’s so creamy and delicious, similar in texture to rice pudding. This is a favorite of my youngest son, who says “it’s like having apple pie for breakfast!”
If you’re new to soaking grains, be sure to check out “How to Soak Grains for Optimal Nutrition.”
Soaking grains really is very easy! It just takes a little planning ahead. The result is a highly nutritious and easier-to-digest whole-grain food with wonderful robust flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp butter (or coconut oil)
- 1 cup finely chopped organic apple (about one small apple)
- 2 cups of cooked soaked brown rice
- 1 1/2 cups of plain almond milk (or raw whole milk)
- 1/3 cup of organic raisins (or your favorite dried fruit)
- 1/4 cup chopped crispy walnuts
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- Pure organic maple syrup to taste
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, add butter over medium heat. Once melted and bubbly, add chopped apple and sauté about 1-2 minutes.
- Add remaining ingredients and increase heat to bring mixture to a gentle boil. Then, immediately reduce heat and allow to simmer until apples are soft and desired consistency is reached. About 5-8 minutes.
- Remove from heat and sweeten with maple syrup to taste.
If I have organic sprouted brown rice, should I still soak it?
Thanks!
No need to soak sprouted rice – they’ve already done the work for you!
Hope you enjoy the brown rice breakfast porridge! It’s one of our favorites! Blessings, Kelly
Could I soak the rice per your Soaked Rice instructions, but then instead of cooking the rice on the stove, just put it into the crockpot with all of the porridge ingredients and cook it on low overnight?
I haven’t personally tried this, but I don’t see why not. Sounds like a great idea!
I would love to try this! How did it turn out in the crockpot?
Hi, KC! I haven’t tried it myself and haven’t heard back from Nina. But I imagine it would work just fine!
Blessings, Kelly
