Stove-Top Brown Rice
Creamy rice pudding with… brown rice? That’s right! Apart from the added benefit of being a whole grain, brown rice offers a nutty flavor and chewy texture that adds a little something extra to this already creamy and delicious rice dish. Try out a whole grain alternative to our Classic Minute Rice Pudding.
Rice is such a versatile food that you can use this dish as a creamy dessert or enjoy it as a sweet, tasty and filling breakfast! If you want to add more nutty goodness, toss in slivered almonds or chopped walnuts. We recommend you keep a box or two of our Minute® Instant Rice on hand for any occasion.
For a vegan version of this recipe, use your favorite plant-based milk and leave out the butter. Maple syrup is naturally plant-based and does not need to be substituted.

Seasonal Substitutes
If you’re a fan of mint and chocolate, mix your favorite dark or milk chocolate chips into the pudding and top with chopped mint leaves. Or, adapt this recipe to the seasons by adding seasonal fruit, such as blueberries or strawberries in summer, or dried fruit, such as raisins, in winter.
