- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetness)
- Pinch of salt (optional)
- Fresh fruits or nuts for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Butter-Yogurt Mixture:
In a small bowl, combine the softened butter and Greek yogurt. Stir until smooth and well-blended. If you’d like a hint of sweetness, add honey or maple syrup and mix until incorporated. Add a pinch of salt if desired for a savory touch. - Assemble the Rice Cakes:
Spread a generous layer of the butter-yogurt mixture on top of each rice cake, covering the surface evenly. - Optional Toppings:
For added flavor and texture, top the rice cakes with fresh fruits like sliced strawberries, banana, or blueberries. You can also sprinkle with chopped nuts or seeds like almonds or chia seeds for extra crunch. - Serve:

Notes
- If you prefer a more savory version, skip the sweetener and try adding a sprinkle of herbs like chives or dill to the butter-yogurt mixture.
- You can also try using flavored yogurt for an extra twist of flavor (such as vanilla or berry).
- Rice cakes come in different varieties – feel free to experiment with whole grain, multigrain, or flavored rice cakes for different textures and tastes.
