[Post #33 for 365 days of Vegan, Gluten-Free, Portable Power Pucks]
These pucks are a variation of post from earlier today: Coconut Brown Rice Pudding. It’s one of the easiest recipes you’ll ever make (i.e., dump in slow cooker and skedaddle for several hours until done). It also happens to be a smashing-good breakfast or snack, so, because I am obsessive compulsive about this topic, I had to turn it (or, at least part of it) into a portable power puck. Everyone needs rice pudding on the go, right? Right!
The transformation took a few tries failures, but success eventually came with an additional coconut component: flour. I tried a psyllium egg and a flax egg, but, although both held the pucks together, the result was too sticky and fragile. Two tablespoons of super-absorbent coconut flour (plus the psyllium) rendered perfect pucks: sturdy enough to transport, minimally sticky, and arguably even more delicious than the pudding alone.
Just think of all of the creative ways you can vary these lovelies, with different fruits, spices, or seeds. Holy yum. Enjoy!
- ¼ cup nondairy milk
- 2-1/2 tsp whole psyllium husk
- 2 tablespoon coconut flour
- ½ recipe of Slow Cooker Coconut Brown Rice Pudding (about 1-3/4 cups)
- Preheat oven to 350F. Grease or spray 6 cups of a standard size muffin tin.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk and psyllium husk. Let stand 5 minutes to thicken. Add the rice pudding and coconut flour, stirring until blended. Divide evenly between prepared cups, smoothing tops.
- Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes. Transfer to wire rack and let cool at least 1 hour. Run knife around edge of each cup and remove cooled pucks. Serve room temperature or chilled.
[…] I cannot leave well enough alone, I also used this recipe to make a portable power puck. The world needs portable, pack-able rice pudding. The pucks only require half of the rice pudding […]
