Can Babies Eat Rice Cakes
Yes, and do you ever struggle with snack ideas for your little ones?
I always find my toddler wanting a snack all the time, and I really don’t want to give him sugary sweet treats for that sweet tooth any time of day.
One of my favourite things to do is to create healthy snack options for my toddler and for all the family.
My son loves a rice cake, so I thought why not try to recreate a rice cake snack that was easy and fun to make, that he will enjoy!
I have used rice cake from Sainsbury’s linked below, as these have no added salt which is great!
I love using peanut butter powder when I’ve run out of peanut butter! I find that the powders work the best to grip to the rice cakes as a fun serving of food.
These are so tasty and are a great snack option for your little ones especially if they like the taste of jelly sandwiches.
Ingredient information
Rice cake - The rice cakes I use are these ones from Sainsbury’s, These are great as they have no added salt! Gluten free too!
Peanut butter powder - I bought this from Holland and Barrett, it’s great to have in the cupboard if you ever run out of peanut butter, and it’s great for using in recipes like this! You can use cocoa powder as an alternative for older kids.
Freeze dried strawberries - I only discovered these a few years ago, and they are so effective and delicious in so many recipes! You could also pop in some coconut flakes as well or just these if you did not have the freeze dried strawberries or use strawberry puree.
Butter - I always use unsalted butter as there is no added salt. As a vegan alternative you could use coconut oil (melted).
Serving suggestion
These are obviously great on their own, but you could serve with some Greek style yogurt for dipping as a substantial snack or some strawberry purée for an extra strawberry hit!
why not spread or dip in other nut butters such as cashew butter, sunflower seed butter, hazelnut butter and almond butter.
Other snack style recipes you may like: Best peanut butter puffs, Baked apple for baby or Banana and pumpkin muffins.
Storage instructions
The rice cakes can be kept in an airtight container in a dry spot at room temperature for up to 5 days. If you wanted to keep them in the fridge you could too!
It is best not to freeze the rice cakes, they may go soft, therefore the quality may not deliver!
