Servings: 16
These Healthy Rice Krispie Treats are made with almond butter, brown rice syrup (or raw honey!), and whole grain cereal. No corn syrup, no marshmallows—just chewy, satisfying, crispy bars you’ll feel good about sharing with the whole family.
Ingredients
- 1 cup brown rice syrup
- 2 tbsp coconut oil, unrefined plus more for greasing the pan
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp sea salt
- 1 cup almond butter creamy
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 7 cups crisp brown rice cereal
Instructions
- Line a 13 × 9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the rice syrup, oil, vanilla, and salt. Bring to a rolling boil. Boil for 1 minute, then remove from the heat. Stir in the almond butter and cinnamon.
- Place the cereal in a large mixing bowl. Pour the almond butter mixture over the cereal and stir until well coated. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan.
- Using oiled hands, press the mixture evenly into the pan. Let cool completely before cutting into bars.
Notes
- Nut free: replace almond butter with sunflower butter
- Can mix in mini chocolate chips or sprinkles for fun.
