Sugar Free Creamed Rice
Ingredients
- 500 ml (2 cups) milk
- 1/4 cup of brown rice (you could also use white but brown is more nutritious)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste (or you could use extract)
- 1 small cinnamon stick
- Honey or maple syrup to drizzle - suitable for babies 12 months plus
Instructions
- Combine milk, vanilla bean paste, cinnamon stick and rice in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Cover with a lid; lower temperature and simmer for about an hour to an hour and a half. (brown rice will take quite a bit longer than white rice).
- It is ready when most of the liquid has been absorbed, keeping in mind it will thicken up quite a lot once cool. Serve warm or cold on it own, or drizzle with honey and top with fresh fruit
Notes
To sweeten naturally try adding a mashed banana once cooked and cooled
For little babies, add to a blender and puree until smooth. Try adding a date when pureeing for another flavour with added natural sweetener
