No-sugar banana rice pudding
Grandma's rice pudding with no sugar at all: very ripe banana, stirred in at the end, does the sweetening. A creamy dessert for the child who already eats family meals.

Ingredients
- ½ cup long-grain white rice (3½ oz / 100 g)
- 1½ cups water
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 very ripe bananas, with speckled peels
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 pinch ground cinnamon (optional)
How to make
- 1Rinse the rice and cook it in the water with the cinnamon stick, covered, over low heat, until the water is absorbed (about 15 minutes).
- 2Add the milk and cook uncovered, stirring now and then, until creamy (about 15 minutes).
- 3Turn off the heat, remove the cinnamon stick and stir in the bananas, mashed with a fork.
- 4Serve warm or cold, with ground cinnamon on top.
Tips
- Cow's milk: only from 1 year old. Before that, don't offer this recipe.
- No sugar: bananas with speckled peels are the sweetest. Don't add sugar, honey or condensed milk.
- Cinnamon stick: remove it before serving. It's hard and a choking hazard.
- Consistency: the pudding thickens as it cools. If it gets too firm, stir in a little warm milk.
- Storage: up to 2 days in the fridge, in a closed container. The banana darkens a little.
