Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup white rice rinsed
  • 4 cups milk whole or 2%
  • 1/2 cup sugar granulated
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Rinse the white rice under cold water until the water runs mostly clear. This helps improve texture and prevents stickiness.
  • Add the rinsed rice, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon to the slow cooker.
  • Stir briefly to ensure the ingredients are evenly combined and nothing clumps.
  • Cover with the lid and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours. Stir occasionally if you're nearby, but it's not required.
  • Once the rice is tender and the pudding is creamy, give it one final stir. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

This rice pudding is forgiving and flexible. Add raisins, swap in almond milk, or stir in a bit of nutmeg for a twist. Leftovers thicken when chilled—just add a splash of milk to reheat.
