2 tbsp honey or maple syrup Shop

pinch sea salt (optional)

Instructions

1 Gather your ingredients, ensuring all packaged items like rice cakes and peanut butter are gluten-free. Have your toppings ready for assembly.
2 Spread approximately 1 tablespoon of creamy peanut butter evenly over the surface of each plain rice cake. Ensure the peanut butter covers the cake from edge to edge for maximum flavor in every bite.
3 Drizzle about 1/2 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup over the peanut butter on each rice cake. This adds a touch of sweetness that complements the nutty flavor beautifully.
4 If using, sprinkle chia seeds or hemp seeds over the drizzled sweetener for added texture and nutrients. A tiny pinch of sea salt can also enhance the overall flavor profile, about 1 minute.
5 Serve these delightful peanut butter rice cakes immediately for the best crispy texture. They are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, though the rice cakes may soften slightly.

Tips & Notes

Warm the peanut butter for about 10 seconds in the microwave so it spreads without cracking the brittle rice cake.
Top the peanut butter with sliced banana or strawberries for a more filling snack.
Assemble the rice cakes just before eating. Peanut butter and honey soften them as they sit.
