Ingredients

3/4 cup nondairy milk (e.g., almond milk, cashew milk, coconut milk)
1 cup cooked brown rice (medium-grain or short-grain brown rice)
1 tablespoon golden flaxseed meal (see notes for options)
1 tablespoon coconut sugar (see notes for options)
optional: pinch of salt
optional toppings: see list in notes below

Instructions

Place the brown rice in a 16 ounce jar or other sealable container.
Add the milk, flaxseed meal, coconut sugar, and optional salt to the jar. Stir to combine.
Store in the refrigerator overnight.
The next morning, stir the porridge. Enjoy cold, or heat (in the jar, without the lid, or a bowl) until warmed through.
Serve plain, or with any of the suggested toppings.

Notes

Storage: Store any leftover (cooled) porridge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Warming the Porridge: The porridge is wonderful chilled, but it can also be heated in the microwave for one to two minutes.
Use Other Cooked Grains? Swap a cup of almost any other cooked grains for the brown rice. For example, quinoa, millet, buckwheat, or sorghum.
Golden Flaxseed Meal Options: Dark flaxseed meal can be used in place of the golden flaxseed meal. You can also use 2 teaspoons of chia seeds, or 1/2 teaspoon of while psyllium husks.
Coconut Sugar Options: Use any sweetener you prefer in place of the coconut sugar, including maple syrup, agave nectar, brown sugar, cane sugar, or brown rice syrup.
