We adapted this deliciously dairy-free brown rice pudding from a magazine many years ago. It takes a bit of time to cook, but is quite easy to make. And the results are wonderfully creamy with just enough sweetness. We love the taste of brown sugar in this recipe. But you can substitute coconut sugar for a less sweet, unrefined finish.
This brown rice pudding is technically dessert, but it’s doubled as breakfast in our home. It’s actually lower in sugar than most breakfast cereals, and the wholesome ingredients make it quite hearty.

Thank you Alisa, those were perfect, now I can make rice pudding for him 🙂
This looks fantastic but I was wondering do I have to add the eggs? My partner is allergic to eggs, he swells up like a balloon, thanks..
I wouldn’t simply omit the eggs, but for egg-free, dairy-free options, try these recipes instead: http://www.godairyfree.org/recipes/healthy-vegan-chai-rice-pudding or several recipes in this one, http://www.godairyfree.org/news/dairy-free-rice-pudding-recipes
