Healthy Rice Krispie Treats
Healthy Rice Krispie Treats are made with peanut butter and coconut oil instead of marshmallows and butter. They are tasty and easy to make!
Ingredients
- ¼ cup pure honey
- ¾ cup creamy natural drippy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- 2 ½ cups crispy rice cereal (I used brown rice crisps from Whole Foods)
- ⅓ cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Add honey, peanut butter and 2 tablespoons of coconut oil to a saucepan. Cook for 1-2 minutes on medium-low heat just until the mixture has melted and combined. Use a wooden spoon to stir the mixture as it melts.
- Remove from the heat, add cereal and combine.
- Press the mixture into an 8x8 baking pan lined with parchment paper.
- Place chocolate chips and 1 teaspoon of coconut oil into an oven safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second increments to ensure the chocolate does not burn. (Example: Microwave for 30 seconds, stir the chocolate and then place back into the microwave.) Repeat this until the chocolate is completely melted.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate over the mixture in the pan.
- Place the pan into the freezer for about one hour.
- Slice into 9 or 16 bars and enjoy!
- Store the cut bars in an airtight container, in the fridge, for about 4 days.
