Today we are leveling-up brown rice crispy treats.  These Brown Rice Crispy Treats are a higher-quality version of the original (no refined sugars and no marshmallows!).

Instead they use brown rice crispy cereal, brown rice syrup, peanut butter (or any nut butter), and vanilla… that’s it.

And the best part is, they are just as easy to make as the original recipe. #winwin

You can certainly enjoy them without the chocolate chips but in our house, everyone agrees that a sprinkle of mini chocolate chips makes them even better.

Cuisine: American, gluten free, vegetarian
Author: Dani Spies
Prep Time10 mins
Cook Time5 mins
Total Time15 mins

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup of all natural crunchy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup of brown rice syrup
  • 4 cups of brown rice crispy cereal
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup of chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  • Mix peanut butter, rice syrup, and vanilla and heat over a low heat in a small sauce pan until the mixture becomes warm and syrup (this will only take a few minutes).
  • While your peanut butter syrup is heating, spray a large bowl with cooking spray before adding the rice cereal. Pour ooey gooey peanut butter syrup over the cereal and combine until all of the rice cereal is evenly coated.
  • Transfer brown rice into an 88-baking dish that has been lightly coated with non-stick cooking spray. Pat them down and make them nice and even, pop in the fridge about an hour or so, then cut em up and enjoy!

    I googled ‘brown rice krispy bars with rice syrup’, because that’s what I wanted to make….I was even thinking about putting peanut butter in them….so thanks so much for doing all the hard work for me! I dreamt it, you came up with the recipe!

    Hi Dani!

    I’d love to try these as I have some puffed brown rice needing to be used! But I don’t have brown rice syrup, is there something else I could substitute it with??

    Love your recipes! =D

      You can probably try some agave or maple syrup. It will change the flavor a bit but at the end of the day they are both liquid sweeteners. With that being said, I have never tried either so I’d be eager to hear what your results are should you try.
