Cinnamon Delight Crispy Treats

These Cinnamon Delight Crispy Treats are a riff on the Crispy Treats from Alicia Silverstone’s Kind Diet, with a little added healthy spice! My kids keep asking me to make Rice Krispies Treats and so I researched a much healthier way to make them.  Adding cinnamon to the mix makes me feel better about making this classic sweet treat.

Cinnamon makes any dish feel like it’s special. Plus, it’s super healthy.  It can help lower your blood sugar, triglycerides and cholesterol, so let’s throw this magical spice into everything we eat, shall we!?

These crispy treats have a little cinnamon, a little nutmeg, a little ginger…. perfect for parties and with all that spice they can be SEXY TREATS.

Ingredients:

• 1 box brown rice crispy cereal (Barbara’s makes my favorite)
• 1 3/4 cups brown rice syrup
• 3/4 cup almond butter
• 1 pinch coarse sea salt
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp ginger

Pour cereal into a large bowl.

Melt brown rice syrup in a pot on the stove on low heat, until liquid.

Add almond butter and all spices and mix well.

Pour mixture over the cereal and mix well with a wooden spoon.

Put the mixture into a 9×13 baking dish.

Wet wooden spoon and press mixture evenly into the dish. Sprinkle more cinnamon on top, if you want to!

Let cool for 1 hour.

This is a healthier, more fun version of the traditional favorite, Rice Krispies Treats.

And these ones are tastier too!! Trust me.

What makes them healthier?  Instead of using heaps of butter and marshmallows, we’re going to use brown rice syrup and almond butter. No dairy involved!

Cut into squares or bars. Serve to friends or eat them yourself.

These are so yummy. I hope you make them!
