- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- ½ cup raisins

Tip: Cooking times vary depending on your slow cooker, so check after 2 hours.
4️⃣ Add Flavor & Raisins

Variations & Tips
- Coconut Rice Pudding: Replace half the milk with coconut milk for a tropical flavor.
