Vanilla Breakfast Pudding is a nice warm comforting gluten-free breakfast made with some common pantry items. This is a great start to the day.
I love a warm comforting breakfast, especially at this cold time of year. So when I saw this recipe for Vanilla Breakfast Pudding I had to try it. And, everyone knows that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so make sure you treat yourself right!
This was delicious while being healthy and hearty. I also like that this breakfast pudding is gluten-free. What a great way to start the day!
You could use just about any fruit that you like. Strawberries in summer time would be lovely. Blueberries would rock. Peaches, pears… well, you get the idea. Use whatever fruit you love. And, you could use fresh, frozen (defrosted), or even dried fruits.
You can also use cream of rice or cream of wheat in this. They are basically the same idea.
I think I’ll add 1 teaspoon of ground flaxseed with the vanilla next time; that’ll add some extra nutrition as well as a nutty flavor.
