Healthy homemade fish fingers, coated in rice cakes, that the kids will love getting involved in making.
I got very excited last month when Holly from Recipes From A Normal Mum released her first cookbook. I love Holly’s recipes as they are always quick, easy and kid-friendly…perfect for my house full of fussy eaters!
I’ve earmarked so many recipes that I want to try and the first up were these Rice Cake Fish Fingers. My little fussy eater loves the packaged fish fingers and I sometimes make my own but with breadcrumbs. I was really intrigued by Holly’s idea to use rice cakes instead and was very keen to give it a go.
I have to say I was really impressed by these. The rice cakes made a fantastic coating for the fish. They were super crispy and also worked as a flavouring too. Holly recommends the cheese flavour rice cakes in her book but my local shop only had salt and vinegar so I used those.
These rice cake fish fingers got a big thumbs up in my house and I’m looking forward to trying more recipes from her book.

Had never seen this before so was curious to try and so glad I did! It’s brilliant and my little one loves them. Much healthier than shop bought ones.
