Vegan Chocolate Chip Banana Nut Rice Pudding

Name: Vegan Chocolate Chip Banana Nut Rice Pudding
Yield: Makes 4 servings.
Ingredients: 1 ½ cups (375 mL) cooked brown medium grain USA Rice; 2 cups (500 mL) coconut milk; 2 tsp (10 mL) cinnamon; 1 tbsp (15 mL) honey; 2 ripe medium bananas, sliced; ¼ cup (60 mL) vegan chocolate chips; ¼ cup (60 mL) chopped pecans

We converted one of our rice pudding recipes into a delicious vegan version that everyone will enjoy. Brown rice, coconut milk, honey and vegan chocolate chips, along with bananas and pecans, create a divine, naturally-sweet dessert. Swap the honey for maple syrup for a new, warm and delicious breakfast option. Leftovers? Great, as it’s a tasty cold snack, too. (Note: the vegan version will render a darker colour than the photographed recipe due to the brown rice.)
