Ingredients

3/4 cup cooked brown rice (long-grain or basmati for me)
1/2 cup vanilla-flavored soymilk or 1/2 cup plain soymilk
2 -4 dates, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped almonds (or more walnuts)
1 tablespoon chopped walnuts (or more almonds)
1 small apple, diced- granny smith are the best
1/4 cup fresh blueberries (optional) or 1/4 cup thawed frozen blueberries (optional)

Directions

1

Firstly, note: PLEASE substitute any nuts or seeds you like for this! Personally I'm trying it today with toasted sunflower seeds. Other cooked grain will also work, of course; I have tried and liked with millet.
2

The flavor of the dates is so delicious I can't imagine using anything else, but again, whatever you like :-).
3

Combine rice and soymilk in a microwave-safe bowl. Nuke for 40-60 sec., depending on how hot your microwave is.
4

Stir the chopped dates into the rice and microwave again, until the milk starts to bubble.
5

Quickly stir in the nuts/seeds and diced apple, and COVER the whole bowl, with a plate or lid. Let sit covered for 5-8 minutes. This will allow the flavors to blend, and the apple will get slightly soft as though baked.
