Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 2 plain rice cakes
Toppings
- 2 tbsp almond butter (or your favorite nut/seed butter)
- 1 small banana, sliced
- 1 tsp chia seeds
- Optional: drizzle of honey or maple syrup
- Optional: cinnamon sprinkle
Instructions
- Spread almond butter: Evenly spread 1 tablespoon of almond butter over the surface of each rice cake to create a creamy base layer that helps hold the toppings in place.
- Add banana slices: Arrange the banana slices carefully on top of the almond butter in a single layer, ensuring an even distribution of sweet fruit on each cake.
- Sprinkle chia seeds: Lightly sprinkle 1 teaspoon of chia seeds over the banana slices to add texture and a boost of omega-3 fatty acids and fiber.
- Add optional sweeteners and spices: If desired, drizzle a small amount of honey or maple syrup, and sprinkle a dash of cinnamon on top to enhance sweetness and flavor complexity.
- Serve immediately: Enjoy the rice cakes right away to experience the maximum crunch and freshness of this power snack.
Notes
- Use any nut or seed butter of your choice such as peanut butter or sunflower seed butter for variation.
- Bananas should be ripe but firm to prevent sogginess of the rice cakes.
- Chia seeds add extra nutrients but can be omitted if preferred.
- Consume immediately to maintain crisp texture; storing will soften the rice cakes.
