Pour this 1 mixture over raw rice into a slow cooker for a warm winter treat that hits different

This slow cooker cinnamon raisin rice pudding is exactly the kind of cozy, low-effort dessert I crave on cold Midwestern nights. You literally stir together one simple mixture—whole milk, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and raisins—then pour it over raw short-grain rice in the slow cooker and walk away. A few hours later, you’ve got a warm, creamy, old-fashioned rice pudding that tastes like something your grandma might have made, but with weeknight-friendly ease. It’s perfect for using pantry staples and makes the house smell like a bakery while you catch up on work, laundry, or your favorite show.
