10 Ways to Make Rice Cakes Delicious

Whether you’re looking for healthy lunch alternatives, fancy reaching for something other than a packet of crisps, or simply want to pimp up your snack, rice cakes are the perfect solution.

Easily digestible and lower in carbs than many types of bread, rice cakes are so versatile, and you can top them with just about anything; making them perfect for snacking on but also ideal for creating a substantial and filling meal.

Here are our 10 favourite ways, both sweet and savoury, to make rice cakes delicious.

1) Classic Pb & J

Peanut Butter & Jam

A classic take on a PB & J sandwich, top your rice cakes with that complementary combination of peanut butter and jelly. A great way to curb those sweet cravings.

2) Dill-icious

Salmon, Cream Cheese & Dill

For a fresh-tasting lunch that’s filling and delicious, try smoked salmon on top of cream cheese. Add a sprinkling of dill to enhance the flavour. This decadent topping makes a great weekend brunch alternative too.

3) Avo on Rice

Avocado & Chilli Flakes

Try some crushed avocado with a sprinkling of chilli flakes and sea salt. An excellent substitute for avo on sourdough or toast!

4) Chocolate & Spice

Apple, Chocolate Spread & Cinnamon

Get your sweet tooth stuck into a thin layer of chocolate spread, sliced apple and a sprinkling of cinnamon. Oh-so-moreish!

5) Breakfast Cakes

Yoghurt, Honey And Granola

For the makings of a great breakfast, swap a bowl of cereal or toast for a couple of rice cakes topped with yoghurt, granola, and a drizzle of honey. Add flaked almonds instead of granola for that satisfying crunch.

9) Classic Egg & Cress

Egg, Watercress & Black Pepper

An egg-cellent alternative to the classic egg and cress, layer your rice cake with egg (mayonnaise optional) and watercress with just a sprinkle of black pepper. If you like a bit of spice, why not add a touch of cayenne pepper for a bit of heat?

10) Sweet Cakes
