Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
Start by gathering all your ingredients. Rinse the fresh berries gently under cool water to remove any debris, and set them aside to dry. Measure out the almond butter and honey (or maple syrup) using your measuring cups and spoons. Having all ingredients ready before assembly will make the process smoother.
Step 2: Mix the Almond Butter
In a mixing bowl, combine the almond butter with honey or maple syrup. Stir the mixture well until it’s smooth and creamy. A spatula or spoon works best for this step. If the mixture is too thick, you may slightly warm it to make spreading easier.
Step 3: Assemble the Rice Cakes
Lay the rice cakes on a flat surface or plate. Using your spatula, spread a generous layer of the almond butter mixture onto each rice cake. Be sure to cover the entire surface of the rice cake for full flavor impact.
Step 4: Add the Toppings
Top the almond butter-covered rice cakes with the fresh berries. Next, sprinkle the sliced almonds over the berries. Finally, add a pinch of chia seeds and a tiny pinch of sea salt to enhance the flavors. These toppings add not only visual appeal but also nutritional benefits and texture to the dish.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Your rice cakes with almond butter are now ready to serve! Optionally, you can drizzle a bit more honey or maple syrup over the top for added sweetness. Serve immediately for a delightful breakfast or snack experience. These rice cakes are best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated if prepared in advance.
