German Rice Pudding

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 cup arborio rice

  rinsed
• 2 cups milk
• 1 cup water

  filtered
• 1 tbsp almond butter

  smooth, optional
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 pinch salt
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon

  optional
• 4 tsp maple syrup

  optional
• 4 tbsp slivered almonds

  optional

Instructions

• 1 Add the arborio rice to a colander and rinse it with cold water.
• 2 Add all ingredients to a large pot and thoroughly combine them. Choose a
  heavy-bottom pot to prevent it from burning easily.
• 3 Bring the mixture to a boil and reduce the heat down to a gentle simmer. Keep an
  eye on the milk while you're bringing it up to temperature to prevent the milk
  from boiling over.
• 4 Cook the rice pudding for 40 minutes until the rice is softened. Stir it every 5
  minutes to make sure it doesn't burn at the bottom of the pot. Rice pudding
  thickens over time so don't be alarmed if it is a bit liquid after the cooking
  time. If the pudding is too thick, simply add more milk.
• 5 Remove the pot from the stove and let it cool down for 15 minutes. It will
  continue to cook and absorb the oat milk so don't be alarmed if it seems too
  liquid.
• 6 Serve it with a topping of your choice. A generous serving of maple syrup,
  slivered almonds, and some more cinnamon are my favorite. Enjoy!
