Overnight breakfast rice pudding. The sweet tasting combination of the cinnamon and vanilla infused milk, absorbed by the rice is just delicious. A perfect way to use up any leftover rice!
At the moment I’m all about breakfast, and THIS overnight breakfast rice pudding in particular!
Seriously I’ve had it at least 4 times in the last week.
This is such a great recipe for your leftover rice.
Let’s face it, if you’re anything like me sometimes leftover rice just gets stuck in the back of the fridge.
Perhaps never to be used. Becoming forgotten about and eventually ending up in the bin!
No more of that though. This overnight breakfast rice pudding recipe is a revelation!
Just think, you’re bound to have some leftover cooked rice at some point in the future aren’t you?
So why not use this delicious leftover rice recipe to both use it up and make a meal for breakfast with it?
Plus, this is a filling breakfast.
I mean a REALLY filling breakfast!
It’ll have you perfectly full up until at least lunchtime. That’s because it’s made from complex, unrefined carbohydrates.
The consistency still has a little “bite” to it.
It’s a breakfast that you’ll take your time to eat. That's much better for your digestion too.
If you enjoyed this overnight breakfast then why not try out my strawberry vanilla overnight oats recipe?
Oh breakfast you and I have so many great combinations to come! 😀

I keep telling Luke that I will make him an overnight breakfast because I'm a pretty useless wife in the mornings lol. If I can make breakfast at night, I can at least tell him to serve himself and I've done SOMETHING useful! LOL

Oh My Gawsh - I cannot count how many times I've forgotten about the rice in the back of my fridge, only to turn around and chuck it later! THIS though would be such a fabulous way to recycle leftover rice! This is Genius, Neil!

I'm so glad to be of assistance Shashi! 🙂
I like this recipe so much, I've actually started making too much rice at mealtimes, just so I have plenty to have again for breakfast. 😆

Do you have it hot in the winter as I don't like cold breakfast.
Neil
Hi Mo, no this is meant to be a cold overnight breakfast rice pudding from the fridge in the morning. Why not try my rice porridge breakfast instead. I have that one hot! 🙂
