This is really tasty. Today is day 1 of eating gluten free and I was really happy to come across this recipe. It was rich and creamy. I used 1/4 cup of syrup and it was plenty sweet. I would actually prefer even less. I didn't have any raisins so I used craisins and added a dash of nutmeg.

This was delicious! I used almond milk because that is what I had and left out the cardamon (not a favorite). Real maple syrup added a real depth of flavor. Also added a tablespoon of cream on top which was decadent!

This is excellent. I used 2% milk instead of soy and I used honey instead of maple syrup because that is what I had on hand. I just love this recipe.

This sounded really good, but presonally I like my rice pudding more custardy. Mine ended up being a lot drier than the picture.

i prepared my rice beforehand by cooking 1 c. rice with 2-2 1/2 c. water & store in fridge till ready to make pudding. i used 2% milk instead of soy milk, also 2 Tbs. brown sugar instead of syrup and only 1/2 tsp. cinnamon. topped with slivered almonds and blueberries rather than raisins. we found it to be a little chewier than we thought it might be, but will try again to see if we can achieve a creamier result next time.

Yum! What a great way to use left over rice too! I used craisins (I didn't have raisins), and I used toasted pecans instead of almonds. I didn't have soy milk, so used whole milk. It still tasted great. Thanks for the great recipe Jessie.

No problem if you don't like soy. Try milk or almond milk instead. This is a recipe that allows for personal changes to the liquid and the spice - to say nothing of the type of rice as it's good with short grain rice as well. I also cut back on the amount of maple syrup.

Absolutely delish! We always have leftover brown rice in the fridge, and this is a perfect fit :-) I had to sub skim milk and cashews because that's all I had on hand, and I didn't have any cardamom either. Even short on ingredients, it was a winner!

This is a good recipe. I used about a cup and a half of leftover brown rice, 2/3 cup milk, 2 1/2 tablespoons pure maple syrup, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. I also added a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg and some toasted almonds.
