Rice Cakes 6 Ways

I know what you're thinking. Rice cakes? Really? Isn't that like soooooooooo 1980's? This blast from the past has come to be one of our favorite family snacking options. As I've been exploring the world of gluten free snacking for me and the fam, we've tried a variety of spreads and toppings to turn these gloriously blank canvases into primo snacks.

Expand your snacking horizons with our favorite rice cake spreads and toppings.

Here are a few of our favorite rice cake snacking options:

Chocolate peanut butter rice cake

Our very favorite version is chocolate peanut butter. First spread on a layer of natural peanut butter. Then add a layer of chocolate hazelnut spread on top of that. Think chocolate peanut butter rice krispy treat - but without all the extra sugar. Yum!

Cookie butter fairy toast rice cake

My pickiest eater loves his rice cake smothered with cookie butter (which happens to be filled with gluten) and sprinkled with sprinkles - like fairy toast, but cookie-er. Hee, hee.

Fruit pizza rice cake

My personal favorite is spread with hummus and a sprinkling of feta. So yum!!! We also enjoy a fruit pizza version, simple turkey & cheese, and pepperoni pizza face.

Rice cakes never looked and tasted so good.

The options are really endless. Peanut butter and jelly, peanut butter banana cinnamon, caramel apple, chocolate hazelnut with fresh sliced strawberries... Just go crazy with 'em!
