Protein Rice Krispies
A healthier twist on the classic crispy treat! These no-bake Protein Rice Krispies are packed with nut butter, protein powder, and a fun option to add sprinkles or a chocolate drizzle.
Ingredients
- 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal classic crispy base
- 1/2 cup protein powder vanilla, chocolate, or berry flavor
- 1/2 cup natural nut butter peanut, almond, or sunflower seed butter
- 1/3 cup honey or agave syrup
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1/4 cup mini sprinkles or melted chocolate optional; choose one for topping or drizzle
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine Rice Krispies cereal and protein powder.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the nut butter, honey (or agave), and coconut oil. Stir until smooth and fully combined.
- Pour the warm mixture over the cereal and protein powder. Stir well until everything is evenly coated.
- Press the mixture firmly into a lined 8x8-inch pan. Use a spatula or parchment paper to smooth the top.
- If using sprinkles, gently press them on top before chilling. If using melted chocolate, drizzle over the bars after chilling and before serving.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm enough to slice into bars.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Notes
Choose either festive sprinkles or a drizzle of chocolate for a fun and tasty finishing touch. To keep it vegan, use agave syrup and plant-based protein powder. Let sit at room temp for a few minutes before enjoying for the best texture.
