Brown Rice Breakfast Porridge is a warm, nourishing dish made by slowly simmering cooked brown rice in milk or a plant-based alternative until it reaches a creamy, pudding-like consistency. Lightly sweetened with ingredients like honey, maple syrup, or coconut sugar, it’s often flavored with cinnamon, vanilla, or nutmeg for extra comfort. Topped with fresh fruits, nuts, seeds, or a drizzle of nut butter, this wholesome breakfast is rich in fiber, subtly nutty in flavor, and keeps you feeling full for hours a hearty and healthy start to the day.
