• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (plus more for serving, optional)

Servings: 6

 Instructions

1. Prepare the Slow Cooker
   Lightly grease the inside of a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
2. Rinse the Rice
   Rinse the rice under cool water until the water runs mostly clear, then drain well.
3. Add Rice to Cooker
   Spread the drained rice evenly across the bottom of the slow cooker.
4. Mix the Liquid Ingredients
   In a bowl, whisk together milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined.
5. Combine Everything
   Pour the milk mixture over the rice, ensuring all grains are fully submerged.
6. Cook Slowly
   Cover and cook on LOW for 2½ to 3½ hours, until the rice is tender and the mixture is creamy.
7. Stir During Cooking
   About halfway through, stir the mixture to prevent sticking, then continue cooking.
8. Finish and Rest
   Once done, turn off the slow cooker and let the pudding sit covered for 15–20 minutes to thicken.
9. Adjust Consistency
   If needed, stir in a splash of milk to loosen the pudding.
10. Serve
    Serve warm with extra cinnamon, or chill in the refrigerator for a cold dessert.
