Have mercy! I’m excited to share this recipe with you today!! I’ve been longing for a healthy rice crispy treat for quite sometime. Don’t get me wrong, I understand the draw of the ooey gooey wonderful marshmallow packed traditional treats. Have you ever thought to yourself ‘wouldn’t it be nice if I could have something just as delicious but less guilty?’. I certainly have. I stumbled upon the recipe over at Detoxinista and it was exactly what I was looking for. I decided to put a little fall flare on it and add peanut butter and pumpkin spice. It’s the time of year you know where #allthethings are pumpkin spice. AmIright? When I was given the chance to partner with Attune Foods I was over the moon excited to get in the kitchen with their amazing cereals.
I was sent a goodie box with Peace Cereals Vanilla Almond Clusters & Flakes, Sweet Home Farm French Vanilla w/Almonds Granola, Erewhon Simply Vanilla Granola, Erewhon Cinnamon Crispy Brown Rice and Erewhon Crispy Brown Rice. Helllloooooo jackpot! What I love about all of these products is that they are so nutritious. All the things I love: organic, gluten free, non-GMO, and more. It’s almost as if they were made for me! For the Peanut Butter Pumpkin Spice Rice Crispy Treats I went straight to the cabinet and pulled out some of my favorite healthy ingredients to make this tasty treat. I had everything on hand. Brown Rice Syrup isn’t a sweetener that I use often, but I keep it on hand for when I need it. It worked beautifully in this recipe. I hope you’ll give these a try. I promise you won’t regret it!

My partner and I loved these. I could not find unsweetened rice cereal, so I just halved the recommended brown rice syrup. I added some melted chocolate to half and they are amazing!
