HOW DO YOU LIKE YOURS?  SWEET OR SAVOURY?

WHAT ARE RICE CAKES/CRACKERS?

Rice crackers/rice and corn cakes are both very similar. They are made from either corn or puffed rice which is then pressed together into a cake.   Rice cakes are often eaten as a low-calorie substitute for bread and crackers. There are many different flavours available, from savoury flavours or sweet.

Rice crackers are far healthier than bread or corn chips and you can use a variety of different toppings.  Here’s some you may like to try;

Although rice cakes or corn cakes don’t taste like much, it is all about the topping you add to them.  I love to add homemade Nutella to mine or nut butter for a quick and easy snack.  I find them quite filling so I tend to have one or two at a time.

If you want a quick and easy, healthy light lunch I recommend giving these ‘Corn cakes’ a go. It took me a whole 5 minutes to prepare lunch today.

I like this particular brand of corn cakes (Pure Harvest), as they are organic, gluten-free, 98% Fat-Free, non-GMO and Zero Cholesterol.

You had me at 98% Fat-Free…

QUICK AND EASY TO PREPARE

When I say these took me 5 minutes to prepare, that’s because I always have a big batch of Relish and beetroot jams made up in glass jars because they keep for ages and are so tasty with just about everything.

These corn toppers go well with this Tasty Caramelised Onions Recipe or this recipe, but you can use whatever toppings you like.
