Looking for a rice krispy treat recipe without marshmallows? Look no further than these healthy peanut butter rice krispie treats that imo taste even better than the traditional version.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups Rice cereal ((love the One-Degree Organics brown rice cereal))
- ¾ cup Honey
- ¾ cup Sunflower butter or Peanut butter
- 1 tsp Vanilla paste
- ½ tsp Kosher salt
Instructions
- Begin by lining a 9×9 square pan with parchment paper.
- Next, pour the rice cereal into a large mixing bowl and set aside.
- Add the honey, sunflower butter, vanilla paste and salt into a pot. Heat the mixture on medium heat, stirring occasionally. You’ll slowly see the mixture transform from thick and stodgy, to a silky smooth and runny syrup. Continue to cook the mixture until it gently bubbles (make sure to stir it while it’s cooking otherwise it’ll burn on the sides). Once the syrup reaches this point, it's done.
- Pour the syrup mixture into the bowl of rice cereal and mix together using a flexible rubber spatula. Make sure the cereal is thoroughly coated with the syrup mixture.
- Pour the cereal mixture into your prepared pan and gently spread out into an even layer. Then, using the back of a measuring cup, firmly press the rice krispie mixture into the pan, so that the top is in an even and uniform layer. Once pressed, cover the treats with foil or plastic wrap and let sit in the fridge to firm up for 2 hours.
- Once 2 hours is up, cut the rice krispie treats into squares and store in the fridge!
