[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I’ve been dreaming up this Vegan Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treat for a while now. It’s taken me a few tries for it to become what I envisioned, but I am finally ready to share these babies with you!

 

These Vegan Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats only take 10 minutes to whip up! They are a healthier version of Rice Krispie treats and do not contain marshmallows, not even vegan marshmallows…though I admit that I absolutely love marshmallows, they’re really just sugar and other hard to pronounce ingredients (vegan marshmallows included). Unfortunately, I think our bodies are all better off without them. 

 

My husband always thinks my desserts can be sweeter, which – okay, okay – I admit that I agree with, however, the point of them is that they are lower in added sugar. Over time, as I’ve reduced my added sugar intake, my palette has adjusted…and I still feel satisfied! In saying all this, feel free to add ½ cup of maple syrup instead of ⅓ cup if you really would like it to be sweeter. 

I’ve added chocolate chips to my Rice Krispie Treats, but it is completely optional. In fact, I think I actually prefer them without the chocolate chips, believe it or not!

How to Make Vegan Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats

I love how easy these are to whip together. The hardest part is waiting for them to set! To make these Vegan Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats, simply mix all of the ingredients except for the Rice Krispies in a large bowl. Next, add the Rice Krispies and stir to combine. Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly and flattening it down with a rubber spatula. Let it set in the fridge for at least an hour before serving. 

 

*NOTE: Be sure to keep the Rice Krispie Treats in the fridge and only take them out when you are ready to serve them. They are not as sticky as regular Rice Krispie Treats because there are no marshmallows, so the edges can come apart easily. They still taste delicious though!

Allergy Notes

The peanut butter can be replaced with any other nut butter or nut-free butter like sunflower seed butter. 

 

 

These Vegan Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats are such a delicious dessert (or even as a little snack 😉 ). I hope you enjoy them at your house as much as we do in ours!

The peanut butter is just a little hard to combine fully when manually stirring, so it will be a little more chunky.
– If you’re like me and don’t want to wait for an entire hour to eat the chia pudding, it tastes just as delicious after 5-10 minutes in the refrigerator. The consistency just won’t be as firm since the chia seeds will not have had enough time to work their magic.” custom_class=”” cook_time=”” name_1=”” name_2=”” name_3=””][vc_column][qodef_recipe servings=”12 large Rice Krispie Treats” ingredients_1=”%5B%7B%22ingredient%22%3A%226%20cups%20Rice%20Krispies%20%20%22%7D%2C%7B%22ingredient%22%3A%221%20cup%20peanut%20butter%20%22%7D%2C%7B%22ingredient%22%3A%221%2F3%20cup%20maple%20syrup%20%22%7D%2C%7B%22ingredient%22%3A%222%20teaspoons%20vanilla%20%22%7D%2C%7B%22ingredient%22%3A%221%2F4%20cup%20coconut%20oil%20melted%2C%20plus%20more%20to%20grease%20baking%20dish%20%22%7D%2C%7B%22ingredient%22%3A%22%C2%BD%20cup%20chocolate%20chips%20(optional)%22%7D%5D” ingredients_2=”%5B%7B%7D%5D” ingredients_3=”%5B%7B%7D%5D” recipe_name=”Vegan Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats” prep_time=”10 minutes” cook_time=”60 minutes” instructions=”%5B%7B%22instruction%22%3A%22Grease%20a%209×13%20inch%20baking%20dish%20and%20set%20aside.%22%7D%2C%7B%22instruction%22%3A%22Mix%20all%20of%20the%20ingredients%20except%20for%20the%20Rice%20Krispies%20in%20a%20large%20bowl.%20%22%7D%2C%7B%22instruction%22%3A%22Next%2C%20add%20the%20Rice%20Krispies%20and%20stir%20to%20combine.%20%22%7D%2C%7B%22instruction%22%3A%22Pour%20the%20mixture%20into%20the%20greased%20baking%20dish%2C%20spreading%20it%20out%20evenly%20and%20flattening%20it%20down%20with%20a%20rubber%20spatula.%20%22%7D%2C%7B%22instruction%22%3A%22Let%20it%20set%20in%20the%20fridge%20for%20at%20least%20an%20hour%20before%20serving.%C2%A0%22%7D%5D” notes=”Keep the Rice Krispie Treats refrigerated and only take out when serving.
