Mix together all the ingredients for the brown rice pudding in the Instant Pot insert. ½ cup brown rice, 1 ½ cup almond milk, 1 tsp vanilla, ½ tsp cinnamon, ½ tsp nutmeg
Close the lid and turn the pressure valve to sealing.
Cook the rice pudding on high pressure using the "porridge" setting for 25 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally.
Remove the lid and mix up the pudding. Serve still warm topped with fresh berries, cinnamon, sliced almonds, a teaspoon of honey if desired. 1 tsp cinnamon, ½ cup berries, ¼ cup almonds, 1 tsp honey
Stove Top:
Make your rice first by combining the brown rice with 1 1/2 cup water in a sauce pan. Bring the rice to a boil, then cover the sauce pan and reduce the heat to low. Allow the rice to cook for 40-45 minutes until the brown rice is tender, stirring occasionally. ½ cup brown rice
Remove the lid and stir in the almond milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. 1 ½ cup almond milk, 1 tsp vanilla, ½ tsp cinnamon, ½ tsp nutmeg
Bring the rice pudding to a boil again, then reduce the heat to low and allow the pudding to simmer uncovered for another 5-10 minutes until almond milk has reduced and the rice pudding is creamy.
Serve the brown rice pudding still warm, topping with fresh berries, cinnamon, sliced almonds, and honey. ½ cup berries, 1 tsp cinnamon, ¼ cup almonds, 1 tsp honey
Slow Cooker:
To make the rice pudding in a slow cooker you will need to increase the almond milk to 2 cups. This is because the liquid will evaporate more in the slow cooker than it will in the Instant Pot.
Combine brown rice, almond milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in the slow cooker. Remember to use 2 cups almond milk.
Cover and cook the rice on high pressure for 2-3 hours.
Serve the brown rice pudding still, warm topping with fresh berries, cinnamon, sliced almonds, and honey.

It's an excellent healthy choice and you can add your favorite protein side to round out your plate
Note: I made the rice pudding unsweetened to allow the pudding to be sweetened to everyone's taste or tsp counts. You can add a couple teaspoons of sweetener to the rice before cooking if desired.
