These no-bake jumbo rice cake almond butter cookies are here to save the day! Packed with wholesome ingredients and bursting with flavor, they offer a guilt-free way to indulge.
One of the star ingredients in this recipe is almond butter, a creamy and protein-rich spread that adds a luscious nuttiness to every bite.
Almond butter is not only a great source of healthy fats but also provides essential nutrients like vitamin E, magnesium, and fiber. Its natural sweetness compliments the other ingredients perfectly, making it an ideal choice for a healthier alternative to traditional cookie recipes.
To keep these cookies light and figure-friendly, we'll be using all natural rice cakes with a touch of sea salt as the base.
Rice cakes provide a satisfying crunch without adding unnecessary calories, and they are also gluten-free, making them suitable for various dietary preferences.
Their neutral flavor allows the other ingredients to shine, creating a delightful balance of textures and tastes.
In addition to almond butter and rice cakes, this recipe incorporates a touch of sweetness from stevia but you can also easily use honey or maple syrup, a sprinkle of chia seeds for added nutrients, and a dash of vanilla extract for a fragrant twist.
By skipping the baking process altogether, we preserve the wholesome goodness of these ingredients, ensuring that each cookie delivers maximum flavor and health benefits.

Recipe FAQ's
Rice cakes are generally low in calories compared to many other snacks. They can be a suitable option for individuals who are trying to manage their weight or reduce their calorie intake.
Here are five creative ideas for what you can do with plain rice cakes. Rice Cake "Pizzas":
Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce or pesto on the rice cake.
Top with your favorite low-fat cheese, sliced vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, and onions, and a sprinkle of dried herbs.
Place the rice cake pizzas under the broiler until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Enjoy a guilt-free pizza-like snack!
Rice Cake "Nachos":
Break the rice cakes into smaller pieces and spread them on a baking sheet.
Top with black beans, diced tomatoes, chopped onions, jalapeños, and a sprinkle of reduced-fat shredded cheese.
Bake in the oven until the cheese has melted.
Serve with salsa, guacamole, and low-fat sour cream for a tasty and light alternative to traditional nachos.
Rice Cake "Sushi":
Spread a thin layer of low-sodium soy sauce on the rice cake.
Top with a slice of avocado, cucumber, and a small piece of cooked shrimp or crabstick.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and a drizzle of reduced-sodium soy sauce or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
Rice Cake "Bruschetta":
Toast the rice cake until crispy.
Top with diced tomatoes, fresh basil leaves, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze or a sprinkle of balsamic vinegar.
Optionally, add a small slice of fresh mozzarella or feta cheese for added.
Rice Cake "Ice Cream Sandwiches":
Place a small scoop of your favorite low-fat or sugar-free ice cream between two rice cakes.
Gently press the rice cakes together to create an ice cream sandwich.
For extra indulgence, roll the edges of the ice cream sandwich in crushed nuts or dark chocolate shavings.
Expert Tips
- Crush the rice cakes finely: Use a food processor or place the rice cakes in a sealed plastic bag and crush them using a rolling pin. The finer the crumbs, the better the texture of your cookies.
- Mix with binding ingredients: Rice cakes alone may not provide enough moisture and binding properties for cookies. Mix the rice cake crumbs with ingredients like nut butter, honey, or maple syrup to help hold the cookies together.
- Add flavors and textures: Enhance the taste and texture of your cookies by incorporating additional ingredients. Consider adding chocolate chips, dried fruits, chopped nuts, or shredded coconut to add interest.
- Experiment with spices: Play with spices to add depth of flavor to your cookies. Cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, or vanilla extract work well in rice cake cookies.
- Adjust sweetness: Depending on the sweetness of your rice cakes, you may need to adjust the amount of additional sweetener. Taste the cookie dough before baking and add more sweetener if desired.
