Description
Honey Butter Rice Cakes are a delightful sweet treat made with cooked rice, honey, and butter, perfect for a quick snack or dessert.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts or seeds (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, softened butter, honey, vanilla extract, salt, and cinnamon (if using). Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the rice is coated evenly.
- Line a baking dish (8×8 inches) with parchment paper for easy removal. Transfer the rice mixture into the dish, pressing it down firmly to create an even layer.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the mixture to firm up.
- Once chilled, remove the rice cake from the dish using the parchment paper. Cut into squares or rectangles.
- If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts or seeds on top for added texture and flavor. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Notes
- For a chocolate twist, add 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder to the mixture before pressing it into the dish.
- Substitute maple syrup for honey for a different flavor profile, or use agave syrup for a vegan option.
