A creamy dreamy brown rice pudding that is flavored with pumpkin pie spice, and sweetened with molasses. Delicious fall and winter flavors together in a one pudding! Plus, it’s gluten free!
Spices are a true bliss, they are low calorie and low fat, but so pungent and aromatic, and add a depth of flavor to any dish or drink. And when you mix them with a creamy rice pudding, that’s a dream come true! And what is a better option than a fall favorite one like pumpkin pie spice?
This pudding is easy to use, but you need to stir often- well almost all the time- to guarantee the optimum creaminess. You can choose white rice, but the nutty flavor of brown one, fits well with the spice, and with my beloved sweetener, molasses!
