Recently, I really enjoy having a warm bowl of porridge in the morning for breakfast. Because I need to clean up my pantry, I accidentally found a pack of black rice. Moreover, since I have been experimenting with different grains in my porridge for more breakfast alternation, I created this Black Rice Pudding as an experiment. Check out my quinoa porridge and steel cut oats recipe.
As much as I love having black rice for dinner with my vegan curry and tofu scramble, it would be a nice to try making some black rice pudding with it and see how it goes. The result was a creamy, comforting and filling breakfast pudding. It can be served warm or cold, with fruits, granola and raw cacao nibs.
This recipe, similar to my quinoa porridge recipe, can be made using a crockpot. It’s therefore perfect for people who don’t bother making an effort to make breakfast in the morning. You can cook a large batch in advance and keep it in the fridge for 3-4 days. Or you can also have it as a breakfast on the go on those busy days.
