Creamy, peanut buttery comfort food.
High in both fiber and protein, peanut butter rice pudding is one of those easy desserts that can be made with just a few ingredients, no blender, and no difficult cooking techniques. It’s super easy to customize if you’re craving, say, chocolate chip peanut butter rice pudding.
Now why would anyone ever be craving that? 😉
Peanut Butter Rice Pudding
(serves 4-6)
- 1 cup uncooked brown or white rice (170g)
- 2 1/2 cups milk of choice (600g)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup peanut butter (depending on desired richness)
- 2/3 cup water (160g)
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- sweetener of choice (such as scant 1/3 cup sugar of choice or 1/4 tsp uncut stevia)
- optional variations: Stir in some chocolate chips or swirl in your favorite jelly or fresh berries
Combine rice, salt, and milk of choice in a saucepan, and bring to a boil. When it comes to a complete boil, lower to a simmer and cover. Simmer, covered, until rice is thick and fluffy. This will take around 10-40 minutes, depending on the type of rice you use. Then stir in the peanut butter and the 2/3 cup water and return to a boil. When it comes to a full boil, turn off the heat but leave covered until the water is absorbed and the rice gets thick and fluffy (about another 20 minutes). Stir, then add all remaining ingredients. Eat warm or cold. Add the chocolate chips immediately if you want them melted; or stir in after the pudding is cold if you’d prefer the chips stay intact.

Thanks for the great recipe! I used Thai sticky rice and some coconut milk.
OMG! All my favorites in one bowl!
Just made this as an afternoon snack. I think it’s delic but had to add more stevia and vanilla extract than called for in the receipt. I also added cinnamon. Could def see this being a great breakfast food as it has a peanut butter oatmeal feel to it.
Great recipe!!! I love it!!!
I quartered it and made it for myself for a hot breakfast. I might have to make it again in the full batch though! 😉
Okay, just made this as my travel-friendly breakfast for the next few mornings, using quinoa instead of rice, and preliminary taste testing suggests it is a worthy substitute! 🙂
Had this for lunch today! I made it with brown rice, and I didn’t add chocolate chips, but it was still delicious! Sweet and peanut buttery (and I used the smaller amount of PB). Really tasty comfort food! Thank you for sharing!
When you say uncut stevia are you referring to powder extract, green stevia, or liquid extract?
OMG, this will be terrific with brown mochi rice! I’ve made rice pudding with homemade Nutella before, but why didn’t I think of making it with PB?
Thanks for another great idea
