The key to making Erica’s mom’s recipe for rice pudding healthier is using brown rice instead of white. It’s delicious and nutritious!

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups water
• ¾ cup uncooked brown rice
• 1 ½ cups low-fat milk
• ⅓ cup white sugar
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup low-fat milk
• 1 egg, beaten
• ⅔ cup raisins
• 1 tablespoon butter
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

Combine water and rice over high heat in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 45 minutes.

Combine cooked rice, 1 1/2 cups milk, sugar, and salt in a clean saucepan. Cook over medium heat until thick and creamy, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup milk, beaten egg, and raisins. Cook 2 minutes more, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla extract. Serve warm.
