(Almost Healthy!) Rice Pudding

This is my favourite recipe for Rice Pudding. A lot of the time, rice pudding can be sticky, heavy, and nutmeg flavoured. Personally, I hate that in a rice pudding, mine is light, creamy, and almost healthy. I do it as a treat for myself and my son but it really isn't even that bad for you. 
I make mine by pouring in half a mug of pudding rice, with two mugs of semi skimmed milk. I let that cook by itself in the slow cooker for around two hours on low. Once it's cooked, I add in a drizzle of honey for sweetness (I don't like to add sugar to things I'm feeding my son, so opt for honey as a healthier option) and I chop up strawberries and bananas to sprinkle on. I add in about 30ml of single cream, and I will also add in chocolate drops just because they're really yummy! 
I like doing this version of rice pudding as it isn't too bad nutritionally for my son, and it encourages him to eat small amounts of fruit. Normally I would also add in raisins as my son likes them but today I didn't have any! 


Hope you guys enjoyed this post, Sam x
