Rinse the brown rice under cold water to remove excess starch and any debris.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed brown rice and 4 cups of water. Bring it to a boil over high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let the rice simmer for about 30-35 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the rice is fully cooked.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the cooked rice stand, covered, for 5 minutes to ensure all moisture is absorbed.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked brown rice, honey, olive oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated and the rice is evenly coated.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the rice mixture onto the sheet, pressing it down with a spatula to form an even layer.
Bake the rice in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges begin to turn golden brown.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the rice to cool slightly before cutting it into squares or desired shapes.
Let the rice cakes cool completely to room temperature to achieve a crisp texture.
Store any leftover rice cakes in an airtight container to maintain their crispiness.
