Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Brown rice cereal
- 1 cup Natural almond butter
- 1 cup Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
Start by lightly greasing an 8x8-inch baking pan or lining it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan, combine the almond butter, honey, and a pinch of salt. Heat over medium-low heat while stirring constantly until the mixture is well combined and smooth, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Place the brown rice cereal in a large mixing bowl. Pour the almond butter and honey mixture over the cereal and gently stir with a spatula until all of the cereal is evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use a piece of parchment paper or the back of a spoon to press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan.
Let the Rice Krispie squares cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes or until set. You can also refrigerate them for faster cooling.
Once set, use a sharp knife to cut into 12 squares.
Store the squares in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
