Brown Rice Crockpot Breakfast

I love my crockpot!  The uses are endless... The most underused purpose for this wonderful cooking tool, is breakfast.  Here is an easy and delicious, whole grain, gluten-free, vegan breakfast that will be waiting for you when you wake up!

Brown Rice Crockpot Breakfast:

1 C short grain brown rice

1 C rice, soy, or almond milk

1 C coconut milk (SO DELICIOUS vanilla)

1/2 C pumpkin (you could use applesauce, chopped apple, apple butter, pumpkin butter, etc.)

1/2 C walnuts (any nut you choose)

1/4 C raisins ( or any dried fruit, i.e. cranberries, dates, etc.)

1/4 C agave syrup ( or 100% maple syrup, or honey)

2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice ( or apple pie spice, or cinnamon)

1 tsp. sea salt

oil

Grease the inside of the crockpot with a bit of olive oil, or earth balance spread, or coconut oil.  Put all ingredients into the crock, mix well with a fork to incorporate the pumpkin.  Cook on low for 8 - 9 hours.

(My crock cooks fast/hot, so I cook this no more than 8 hours, and add an extra 1 C of water, and in the a.m. I need to add another 1 C of water.)

When you wake up, your house is perfumed with what smells like pumpkin pie ( or apple pie)!  AND no need to cook, your breakfast is ready!  Enjoy!

Yours in health,
