Healthy Vegan Rice Crispy Treats
Report
Adapted from one of my all-time favorite sweet treats, Dreena Burton's Healthy Rice Krispie Squares, these irresistible vegan rice crispy treats will be an instant family favorite! They travel well, are a great option when you need something quick for a party or potluck, and are always a hit with vegans and non-vegans, alike. Gluten-free and oil-free with a nut-free option.

Ingredients
- 1 cup natural salted peanut butter or sunflower seed butter (for nut-free) If using unsalted, add a rounded ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt.
- 1 cup brown rice syrup
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 7 to 7 ½ cups crispy brown rice cereal See brand recommendations in post above.

Instructions
- Line a 9x13 rectangular dish or two 8x8 baking pans with parchment paper. Allow paper to overhang the edges for easy removal.
- In a large soup or stock pot combine the nut/seed butter, brown rice syrup, and vanilla. Stirring frequently, cook over medium-low heat until warm and smooth, about 2 or 3 minutes.
- Remove from heat, and stir in 7 cups of the cereal. Continue mixing until the cereal is fully incorporated. If the mixture seems too wet and sticky, add another ½ cup cereal.
- Transfer the mixture to the lined pan(s) and press down evenly. A flat object like a spatula makes this easy. Use a small piece of parchment paper underneath the spatula to prevent sticking.
- Refrigerate the rice krispies uncovered until firm and cool, about 30 minutes. Then lift out onto a cutting board, and cut into squares. Serve now or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Notes
- Ingredient Notes
- Make sure you buy crispy rice cereal not puffed rice.
- If using unsalted nut/seed butter add a heaping ¼ teaspoon of salt to the wet mixture.
- Batch Size
- To make these in an 8x8 pan simply divide the ingredient amounts in half. If you're making these for a party or for a household of more than 1 or 2 people, I highly recommend making the full batch!
- Storage and Freezing
- Store the treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Store the treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
