Easy Creamy Rice Pudding Recipe Vegan Gluten Free

Easy Creamy Rice Pudding - Vegan GF

Nutriment Health and Fitness
A deliciously creamy dessert for everyone to enjoy. This recipe is completely plant-based, dairy free, and gluten free.
In this recipe I used Unsweetened Oat Milk, which is one of the creamiest of the plant-based milks.
The rice texture is slightly firm, with a sweet creamy, holiday season cinnamon spice flavour.
See below notes for optional chewy and crunchy additions.
DIET:
If you are on my weight management program, portion is 1/2 cup and add in a 1 tbsp of protein. Examples would be Hemp Hearts, Chia seeds, and Almonds.
