    Girl, you need some HealthyĀ Peanut Butter Rice Crispy Treats in your life.

    Forget everything you know about (full of sugar, not that good for you) Rice Krispie treats and discover the completely rebranded clean eating peanut butter rice crispy treats.

    Clean eating as in much,Ā much better for you (like no refined sugar, super food chia seeds, nuts...) and peanut butter as in...OMG it'sĀ addictive, and delicious, and life would be so sad without it (crying for those with a peanut allergy right now).

    Did I mention these healthy Peanut Butter Rice Crispy Treats are also NO BAKE?

    As in, no need to turn the oven on, wait forĀ it to pre-heat, wait for your thingĀ to bake then to cool down...and being reminded once again how impatient you are.

    Oh wait, is it just me? My apologies.

    Anyways, with this recipe for homemade rice crispy treats, you just need to heat the honey and peanut butter together, mix it with the rest of the ingredients, press into the pan and let it set in the fridge while you do your nails (or whatever it is you love doing).

    Hello, super easy Peanut Butter Rice Crispy Treats! Enjoy šŸ™‚

    Servings 36 pieces
    Calories 78 kcal

    Ingredients

    • ½ cup natural smooth peanut butter
    • ½ cup honey
    • 3 cups puffed rice cereal without salt and sugar added
    • 1 ½ cups chopped roasted almonds
    • ¼ cup chia seeds

    Instructions

    1. In a small pot, combine peanut butter and honey and heat on medium-low heat for about 3 minutes or until warmed through and spreadable.
    2. Meanwhile, combine puffed rice, chopped almonds and chia seeds in a large bowl.
    3. Pour PB/honey mixture over rice mixture and mix thoroughly.
    4. Line a 11 x 7 inch pan (often called a biscuit/brownie pan) with parchment paper (I spray some olive oil at the bottom to help the paper stick to the pan) and press the mixture firmly into it (I use the back of a cup to make sure I press as hard as I can!).
    5. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until set. Lift it out of the pan and cut into 36 pieces using a sharp knife (I cut the preparation into 3 long strips and then each of these long pieces into 12 small pieces). Store in the fridge in an airtight container.

      If chia seeds bother my stomach can I just leave them out?

        Yes definitely! You can use poppy seeds instead if you prefer.

      The more peanut butter in my life, the better! I love that these are no bake and so easy to whip up on a Sunday night! That way, I will have a healthy snack to take to the office on Monday!

      Can I eliminate the honey? I often find these sorts of things too sweet, but I’m wondering if the bars will still hold together without it.

        You're right, the honey acts as a "glue" so you can't leave it out

      I used rice malt syrup instead of honey & drizzled some melted chocolate over top. Very yum šŸ˜‰

        Good to know it works with rice malt syrup too! And I love that cheeky addition of chocolate šŸ˜‰ Thanks for sharing Tanya!
