Ingredients:
For the crispy treats:
* 1 cup cooked brown rice (preferably short-grain)
* 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or your favorite non-dairy milk)
* 1/2 cup rolled oats
* 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or vegan butter
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1/2 cup cornstarch
* 1/2 cup light agave nectar or maple syrup
For the filling and topping:
* 1/2 cup sliced mangoes
* 1/4 cup chopped fresh passionfruit
* 1 tablespoon finely chopped crystalized ginger (optional)
Instructions:
1. For the crispy treats: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cooked rice, almond milk, oats, melted coconut oil or vegan butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
3. In another medium bowl, mix together the cornstarch and agave nectar or maple syrup until smooth. Stir the mixture into the rice mixture. Whisk until fully incorporated and there are no lumps remaining.
4. Transfer the batter to a sandwich baggie or piping bag and snip off one corner. Pipe small rounds onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch between each. Use your fingers to slightly flatten the mounds.
5. Bake for 15 minutes, then use a metal spatula to carefully flip the crispy treats over. Continue baking for another 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow the crispy treats to cool completely on the baking sheet before handling.
6. Meanwhile, prepare the filling and topping: In a small bowl, toss the mangoes, chopped passionfruit, and optional crystallized ginger together. Set aside.
7. Once the crispy treats have cooled, place a scoop of the mango-passion fruit mixture on top of each treat. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
