Today, while at the store looking for some dairy-free "cheese," I came across this stuff called Mochi. It's a food made from rice, and there were several varieties. I figured I'd try it, so I grabbed the cinnamon-raisin one. The only ingredients are: organic sweet brown rice, filtered water, raisins, cinnamon, and sea salt.
It comes as this big, flat, dense square. You simply cut it into smaller squares and bake it.
When baked, it fluffs all up like a little dumpling.
These have no added sugar, but they're still delicious straight out of the oven!! I was giving them to my kids kind of as a dessert, so I let them dip them into a little bit of pure maple syrup. Honey would be good, too.
I have no idea how it is that I have been in the gluten-free and allergy world for so long, yet I have never heard of mochi. It's fairly inexpensive (this package was less than $3), so easy to make, and delicious!! I'm going to have to try some of the other flavors soon!
