Easy Rice Pudding Recipe

Ingredients

• 3 C white rice, cooked (I make extra whenever I make rice, just so I can make pudding)
• 3 C milk (1% works here, so does soy or almond milk - you don't need whole milk for this)
• 1/2 C granulated sugar
• 2 Tbsp. brown sugar
• 1 Tbsp. butter
• 1 tsp. good vanilla
• 2 tsp. cinnamon, divided

Directions

1. In a medium sized saucepan with a lid, combine cooked rice, milk, white & brown sugar and butter.
2. Cook at a low simmer for 20-25 minutes until most of the liquid is absorbed.
3. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and 1 tsp. of cinnamon mix well, but gently
4. Pour into a serving dish that can go in the fridge and sprinkle the second teaspoon of cinnamon on top as a garnish.
