Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 4 rice cakes (plain or lightly salted)
Spread
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt (or your preferred yogurt)
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetness)
- Pinch of salt (optional)
Toppings (Optional)
- Fresh fruits
- Nuts
Instructions
- Prepare the Spread: In a small bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter and plain Greek yogurt. Mix them together until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a touch of sweetness, stir in the honey or maple syrup along with a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.
- Assemble the Rice Cakes: Spread an even layer of the butter-yogurt mixture on each rice cake using a butter knife or small spatula, ensuring each cake is well coated.
- Add Toppings: Optionally, top each rice cake with fresh fruits like sliced berries or bananas, and/or sprinkle some nuts for added crunch and nutrition.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately for the freshest taste and crunch. These rice cakes are best enjoyed right away to prevent the cakes from becoming soggy.
Notes
- You can substitute plain Greek yogurt with any yogurt of your choice, such as coconut or almond yogurt for a dairy-free option.
- For a vegan version, replace butter with plant-based margarine and use vegan yogurt.
- Adjust honey or maple syrup according to your preferred sweetness level or omit completely for a savory snack.
- Rice cakes are best consumed fresh as they can become soggy if left for too long after adding wet toppings.
- Adding a pinch of salt to the spread helps balance the flavors but can be skipped if using salted rice cakes.
