Ingredients

Brown Rice Pudding:

½ cup brown rice long grain (dry)
1 ½ cup almond milk unsweetened, or water
1 tsp vanilla
½ tsp cinnamon
½ tsp nutmeg

Instructions

Instant Pot:

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.

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.

Notes

Instant pot note: If you have a "Keep Warm" button on your pot, turn it off. This allows the pot to cool when it's done cooking, which releases the rice from the bottom of the pot (so it doesn't stick).
