It's still cold in the mornings in Tassie and Im craving warm slow cooked foods even in Spring. Here's a very yum slow cooked warm rice dish to pop on before bed, ready for the morning.
Overnight Slow Cooker Sweet Brown Rice Porridge
Serves 4
1 cup short-grain brown rice
4 cups unsweetened almond milk or any other nut milk
2 tablespoons honey
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
¼ cup chia seeds
¼ cup ground flax seeds
TO SERVE:
sliced bananas
toasted walnuts
cinnamon
1. Combine the rice, almond milk, honey, salt, vanilla bean powder, and 2 cups water in a slow cooker. Set to low and cook for 8 hours.
2. Check the rice after 8 hours. It will look too thin, but don’t worry. Vigorously stir the porridge for a few minutes to help break up the rice, releasing the starches, which will thicken it. Then add the chia and flax seeds and continue to stir—the chia seeds will also help thicken the porridge. Spoon into bowls and top with the bananas, walnuts, and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
