No need to throw away your diet resolutions...just yet, anyway. Today's sweet treat is... dare I say...healthy!
Made with fabulous ingredients, these rice krispy treats are kicked up a few billion notches and will rival any rice krispy treat you've ever tasted. No, really. Sans butter, they're actually made with brown rice cereal and peanut butter and sweetened with natural maple syrup. I hereby give you permission to be selfish and make these for yourself, too. Or gosh-forbid, be all saint-like and share them.
vegan, gluten-free
5 cups (unsweetened) brown rice cereal, gluten-free
3/4 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup brown rice syrup
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons arrowroot/tapioca starch

Sometimes I find rice krispy treats overwhelmingly sweet but these sound wonderful and I love the fact that they are not packed with butter and/or sugar!
Just lovely. :)
A healthy version of the wonderful rice krispy treats? You're my hero, Miss Jess! ;) Happy new year! Hope to run into you sometime in 2012!
Jess, These look so yummy and I won't feel guilty about eating them. I will plan to make them Friday afternoon when I'm not working. Great snack with a cup of tea ;) Thanks for sharing!
@Leslie I wish I had some leftover for a snack with tea... Unfortunately, they disappeared too quickly! I actually think I'll be making them again this weekend. They're too easy and too yummy not to, right? :) xoxo
Jess - so happy to have found your blog. I made my own version of your recipe last night and they were so scrumptious. I didn't have all your ingredients in my panty, but I will definitely be making these this weekend! Thanks for sharing and I can't wait to try some of your other recipes!!
Since these are technically a health food, I'm gonna go ahead and eat the whole pan. Totally fine.
@Melanie I couldn't have said it better if I tried. A total health food. EAT. IT. UP. ;)
