We love this delicious pudding, and so will you!
This brown rice pudding slow cooker recipe is a family favorite because it’s deliciously creamy, subtly sweet, and contains only natural sugars. It’s almost like eating Crème Brulee, but without all the fat! Made with brown rice, this twist on a traditional treat is good for your body, without sacrificing taste. We love to portion out this brown rice pudding slow cooker recipe into ramekins or small dishes, sprinkle on a little sucanat or coconut palm sugar, and broil it just long enough for it to melt and form a slight crust.

I just made this today and it was delicious!!! Rave reviews from everyone. Thank you for the recipe
Delicious with 1 change. I used same time & ingredients but put crockpot temp ON HIGH!! I specifically wanted a crockpot long grain brown rice pudding recipe! Everything on this matched other’s posts except the temperature!! Turned out fantastic! I did spicy rum my raisins! YUM! A keeper!
Hi Lisa, Thanks so much for the feedback. I’m so happy you enjoyed the recipe. 😉
Thanks so much, glad your family enjoy!
I made it and the rice was still crunchy, and it was dry. I don't think it could have cooked it any longer.
Lisa, Hmmmmm….not sure what happened. Mine always has a lot of liquid when done. 🙁
Do you use cooked or uncooked rice? TIA!
Maria, Uncooked rice goes in the slow cooker.
I tried to use Almond Breeze coconut/almond milk in the half gallon container and that does not work. It curdled, just passing this info on!
I just made this and it's delicious!!! It took about 5 1/2 in my slow cooker on low. Stirred it a few times. My house smells amazing!
We are so glad you enjoyed it, Jennie! That is also one of our favorites 🙂
Let us know what else you try and love!
can you use Agave Nectar for the sugar part?
Yes, you could. Be sure to taste as adding, because sometimes agave nectar is sweeter than sugar and so you may need to add less.
Teresa, Yes, if you prefer. 🙂
If I were to use honey, would I use the same amount as unrefined sugar? Thanks in advance 🙂
Justine, Yes, the same amount if you use honey. You’re welcome! 🙂
do you have to use milk? can you substitute other non-milk options, like rice or almond? thanks!
Irene, Sure, soy or almond milk will work as well. Just be sure they aren’t fat-free as the won’t work so well in the slow cooker.
What if you use short grain brown rice?
Tania, Short grain would probably work.
Will the coconut milk make it taste coconutty? And will the honey measure the same as the sugar? Can honey be substituted with agave nectar?
Jess, You will taste a little coconut, yes, but it's not that intense. Agave nectar can absolutely substitute the honey.
can i uses unsweetened vanilla almond milk instead of coconut milk?
Debra, We’ve only made this recipe with coconut milk, but it should work with almond milk too. Keep us posted! 🙂
Like Lisa W, my rice was hard after 4 hours. I upped the temp from 225 to 350 and it’s improving, will be ready in about 5 1/2 hrs. Low temperature is not the same on all slow cookers and since I live at 7400′ above sea level, low temperature doesn’t cut it.
Can I skip the coconut milk and compensate with homo cow’s milk?
Kaat, That should be fine. 🙂
Is it 12 points per serving?
Yes.
Can you use instant brown rice
Great question, Ann! You can use instant brown rice. Instead of cooking on low for 3 to 4 hours, only cook the rice on low for up to 2 hours.
Can this be frozen?
No, we do not recommend freezing this particular recipe.
