Description
pre workout portables snacks!
Ingredients
Scale
- One 7oz bag of dried cherries (can also use cranberries)
- 4–5 cups of white rice (preferably sticky rice)
- 2 scoops (about 60 grams) protein Powder
- honey or maple syrup (this can be however much or little you want here)
- 1/4 cup coconut butter
- 1/3 cup almonds or almond meal
- 2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- butter or coconut oil to mix into rice after cooking
- Optional – shredded coconut for topping or filling.
Instructions
- First, rinse your rice and let it soak for 20 minutes. Then cook according to directions in a large pot or rice cooker.
- Once the rice is cooked, transfer to a large bowl and mix in a few tablespoons of coconut butter or butter and your protein powder. Then add in a fair amount of honey. I think I mixed in at least 1/4 cup. Once that’s done, set aside and let it get sticky.
- While your rice is sitting, mix up your filling, the dried fruit, almonds, and optional coconut. Mix all your ingredients together and then fill a dry measuring cup with the rice fruit mix. Pat it down then flip onto a greased baking tray. Feel free to roll into balls as well, just takes more skill! haha
- Bake at 375F for about 30-40 minutes. Just depends on your oven. Let it cool.
- Once cooled, you can wrap them up individually to take with you.
- Makes about 12-16 cakes depending on your the size of measuring cup you use.
Notes
Cook rice cakes longer for crispier texture but be careful not to over cook or burn.
Note: Cook rice in a rice cooker for better stickiness.
