Gluten-Free Creamy Breakfast Rice Pudding - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 teaspoon butter
1/4 cup milk
1/3 cup cooked rice
1 1/2 tablespoons ground golden flax seeds
1 tablespoon dried cranberries
1/2 teaspoon light agave nectar
1 teaspoon apricot fruit spread
3 tablespoons plain yogurt
6 whole dry roasted almonds (optional)
2 tablespoons raw pumpkin seeds (optional)

Preparation

Heat butter and rice in a small saucepan over medium-low heat for about 30 seconds.
Add milk and stir to mix, then add ground flaxseed and stir to mix for about 30 seconds.
As the mixture begins to heat up, add the dried cranberries, the agave nectar and the fruit spread. Mix well.
Allow the pudding to heat through until the rice and flaxseed have absorbed the milk. The mixture will become thick and creamy.
Remove the pan from heat, scoop pudding into a bowl, and garnish with almonds, pumpkin seed kernels, and plain yogurt to taste.
Feel free to substitute raisins for dried cranberries or other nuts/seeds for the topping. This would also be good with strawberry or blackberry fruit spread.
