Boosted Rice Pudding

Always love trying to break with tradition and boost every meal we have as much as possible and this was a goodie. My daughter loves rice pudding and we’ve taken to having it at breakfast (well why not?!)… however with a twist. You can follow packet instructions but I use ⅓ normal pudding rice (white, refined rice not great but delicious and good for sensitive tummies), ⅓ short grain brown rice (more fibre) and ⅓ porridge groats (oats contain beta glucan which can provide a welcome immune boost) from @pimhillfarm. Then add a large knob butter, nutmeg, cinnamon (sometimes cardamom), a bay leaf, sprinkle of light brown muscavado sugar (or runny honey) and cover with full fat organic milk (as per your packet instructions and size of dish etc). Porridge groats are delicious and very similar to a rice yet obviously with a different flavour profile and texture. Thank you as always @pimhillfarm for your amazing oats! I serve our rice pudding with raspberry and chia jam to boost the protein more and make sure my daughter is full until lunch
