My mom used to serve a version of this for breakfast—cooked with milk, sugar, and a hint of cinnamon. It is still one of my favorite breakfasts, although now I make a more wholesome version with almond milk and chopped dates.

Recipe from Forks Over Knives – The Cookbook.

By Del Sroufe,

Ingredients

  • 3 cups cooked brown rice
  • 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • ⅛ to ¼ teaspoon ground cloves, to taste
  • 1 cup dates, pitted and chopped
  • 1 tart apple (such as Granny Smith), cored and chopped
  • ¼ cup raisins
  • Salt to taste
  • ¼ cup slivered almonds, toasted

Instructions

  1. Combine the rice, almond milk, cinnamon stick, cloves, and dates in a medium saucepan and cook, stirring occasionally, over medium-low heat for 12 minutes, or until the mixture thickens.
  2. Remove the cinnamon stick. Add the apple, raisins, and salt and mix.
  3. Serve garnished with the toasted almonds.

Hi Mindy,
Yes any type of unsweetened, unflavored plant-based milk would work in this recipe. Let us know what you think!

So good. I made it today and I think I will make it again tomorrow because it is all gone.

This was a delicious breakfast from my usual oatmeal. I didn’t add salt, dates or almonds., it was plenty sweet with the raisins and apples. I will definitely make it again.
