Ingredients
- 1 cup Brown rice
- 2 cups Water
- 1 medium Apple
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Start by rinsing the brown rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed brown rice with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the rice is cooked and water is absorbed.
Step 4
While the rice is cooking, grate the apple using a box grater. You should have about 1 cup of grated apple.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, grated apple, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, sea salt, and baking powder. Mix well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
Step 6
Add the chia seeds to the mixture and stir thoroughly. Let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the chia seeds to absorb moisture and thicken the mixture.
Step 7
In a non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium heat.
Step 8
Scoop about 1/4 cup of the rice mixture and form it into a patty with your hands. Place the patty carefully into the skillet.
Step 9
Cook the rice cakes for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as needed to avoid burning.
Step 10
Repeat the process, adding the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil as needed, until all the mixture has been used.
Step 11
Serve the dairy-free apple cinnamon rice cakes warm on their own or with a drizzle of additional maple syrup if desired.
