Rice Pudding with Cinnamon Sugar Syrup

Rice Pudding with banana slices, pistachios, raisins and cinnamon sugar syrup

Rice is one of the most simple and effective ingredients you can have in your pantry to help fuel your performance. Calrose or sushi rice is easy to cook and has a high glycemic index, which makes it good for a simple pre-race meal, on-the-bike snack, or post-ride recovery snack/meal.

Whenever I make up a batch of rice, I always make extra for other, easy recipes like this Rice Pudding with Cinnamon Sugar Syrup.

This is a quick and healthy breakfast or recovery meal recipe you can make on the stovetop in as little as ten 10 minutes. Choose your desired toppings and drizzle on top with cinnamon sugar syrup for a satisfying sweet snack.

Ingredients

Rice pudding

• 2 cups plant-based or other milk

• 3 egg yolks

• 2 cups cooked white Calrose rice

• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

• 2 Tbsp coconut sugar

• Pinch of sea salt

Cinnamon Sugar Syrup

• 1-1/2 tsp cinnamon

• 1/4 cup coconut sugar

• 5 Tbsp water

Topping Ideas

• Fruit (Banana, blueberries, strawberries)

• Dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, unsweetened shredded coconut)

• Nuts (Almonds, pistachios, pecans, walnuts)

Directions

Add milk and egg yolks (save whites for an omelet) to a medium-sized pot. Bring to a gentle boil. Add in cooked rice, vanilla extract, coconut sugar and salt. Reduce heat and let simmer for 5 minutes or until a pudding-like consistency is reached. Remove from heat and let cool.

While rice pudding is cooling, add cinnamon, sugar and water to a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until sugar is fully dissolved, then bring to a boil for 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool, until a thick syrup forms.

Pour rice pudding mixture into a bowl and top with your choice of fresh fruit, dried fruit, nuts and or/seeds. Drizzle cinnamon sugar syrup over the top. Enjoy!
