Chef's Note

Using a deep bowl is crucial for microwave grains; it gives the milk room to bubble up without boiling over and creating a mess.

  • 1 1/4 cups uncooked instant white rice

  • 2 1/2 cups whole milk

  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

  • 1 1/2 tbsp unsalted butter

  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar

  • 2 scoops unflavored whey protein powder

Instructions
  • 1

    In a large, deep microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 1/4 cups of uncooked instant white rice, 2 1/2 cups of whole milk, and 1 tsp of ground cinnamon, stirring to distribute the cinnamon evenly.

    Place the bowl uncovered in the microwave and cook on high for 3 minutes.

    Carefully remove the bowl using oven mitts, stir the rice thoroughly, and return to the microwave to cook on high for an additional 2 minutes until the rice is tender and creamy.

  • 4

    Immediately stir in 1 1/2 tbsp of unsalted butter and 2 tbsp of granulated sugar, mixing until the butter is completely melted and the sugar has dissolved.

    Vigorously whisk in 2 scoops of unflavored whey protein powder until smooth and free of lumps.

  • 6

    Let the mixture rest for 2 minutes to thicken and cool slightly before portioning into bowls and serving.
