Maple Coconut Rice Pudding Recipe
In celebration of maple season in New England, I’m sharing a sweet recipe that is perfect for these still cool early spring nights or mornings.
This is a wonderful warm maple treat that is perfect to make with leftover organic rice.
When I made my Maple Roasted Butternut Squash and Chickpeas Rice Bowls recently, I doubled the amount of rice that I needed for the recipe, which left me with just the perfect amount remaining to make this delicious nourishing dessert.
I adore a good rice pudding, and this variation is simple, light, and quick to make with organic coconut milk, maple syrup, cinnamon, and vanilla.
It’s got that perfect balance of tasting good and being good for you, which makes it suitable for breakfast, as well as dessert.
At least, I found myself enjoying eating this as a both a late night snack, and then warmed up again the following morning for a breakfast bowl.
