What You Need
Substitute for 2 eggs
1 (13.5-ounce) can light (or "lite") coconut milk
¼ cup stevia
2 cups brown rice, cooked
1 teaspoon almond extract
Zest of 1 medium orange
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon allspice
1 cup dried cranberries
¼ cup hazelnuts, toasted and ground
How to Make It
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine egg substitute, coconut milk, stevia, brown rice, vanilla, orange zest, cinnamon, allspice and cranberries; mix well. Transfer mixture to prepared baking dish. Cover with foil.
Bake for 25-30 minutes. Remove foil, stir and place back into the oven (uncovered) until liquid is absorbed and brown rice is tender, approximately 30-35 more minutes. Set hazelnuts in the oven on a baking sheet to toast for 10 minutes; remove and transfer to a food processor to grind. Remove ground nuts from food processor.
When done, sprinkle pudding with ground and toasted hazelnuts. Set aside to cool for a few minutes. Serve warm.
