High-Protein Slow Cooker Cinnamon Raisin Rice Pudding

Indulge in a cozy, slow-cooked dessert that fills your kitchen with warm cinnamon spice and rich, aromatic sweetness. This high-protein, low-carb cinnamon

Equipment

• 4-Quart Slow Cooker: Allows even, low-temperature heating to simmer the pudding gently without scorching.
• Silicone Spatula: Prevents sticking along the slow cooker liner and ensures smooth folding of protein powder.
• Whisk: Essential for thoroughly blending the protein powder, milk, and eggs without leaving lumps.

Ingredients

• Riced Cauliflower (or Konjac Miracle Rice): 3 cups (Rinse and drain thoroughly to remove excess moisture)
• Unsweetened Almond Milk (or Ultra-Filtered Milk): 1.5 cups
• Vanilla Protein Powder (Whey/Casein Blend): 2 scoops (~60g)
• Egg Whites: 1/2 cup (Whisked lightly)
• Seedless Raisins: 1/4 cup (Portion-controlled for low-carb balance)
• Ground Cinnamon: 1.5 teaspoons
• Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon
• Granulated Zero-Calorie Sweetener (Erythritol/Monk Fruit): 3 tablespoons (Adjust to taste preference)
• Pinch of Sea Salt: 1/8 teaspoon

Instructions

1. Prepare the Slow Cooker Base: Lightly coat the interior of your slow cooker with non-stick spray, then add the thoroughly rinsed riced cauliflower, almond milk, ground cinnamon, zero-calorie sweetener, vanilla extract, and sea salt.
2. Slow Cook on Low Heat: Cover and set the slow cooker to LOW heat for 2 hours, stirring once halfway through until the cauliflower rice becomes soft and tender.
3. Thicken and Add Protein: In a bowl, whisk the egg whites with a splash of milk; temper by adding a spoonful of hot liquid from the slow cooker, then stir the egg mixture into the pot along with the raisins and protein powder.
4. Final Simmer for Visual Texture: Cover and cook on LOW for an additional 15–20 minutes until the mixture thickens into a creamy, custard-like texture with visible specks of cinnamon throughout.
5. Rest and Serve: Turn off the heat and let the pudding sit uncovered for 5–10 minutes to set before serving warm.
