3 Ingredient Healthy Vegan Rice Crispy Treats (Gluten Free, Dairy-Free, V)

3 Ingredient Healthy Vegan Rice Crispy Treats (V, GF): a chewy homemade vegan rice krispy treats recipe, made with whole, gluten-free, protein-rich ingredients. Vegan, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Refined Sugar-Free, No Marshmallows.

When I was a little kid, I seriously, seriously LOVED rice crispy treats… or I should say, rice krispy treats. Yep, that “k” was absolutely essential in capturing this goodie’s, uh, goodness. Hehe.

We weren’t allowed to eat it very often, and it took me until semi-adulthood to make my very own treats at home, replete with butter, marshmallows and that bright blue box of crisp rice cereal.

It was almost magical, watching those marshmallows melt and meld with butter and create that sticky sweet glue. Even better was the part when my older sister, Monica, would help me hold the heavy pot of hot treats and pour it into the baking pan to press down.

There’s something oddly satisfying about getting a perfectly tightly-packed layer. 🙂

But now that I’m older and just ever-so-slightly wiser, I know that when I get these cravings, I gotta go for something just a tad (okay, a loooot) healthier. So today, we’re gonna learn how to make rice crispy treats without marshmallows, together. 🙂 The next time someone asks you if rice crispy treats are vegan, you can so, “well, these are!” Also, “I don’t share.” 😉

I promise you, these healthy vegan rice crispy treats are just as satisfying and way, wayyyy less guilt-inducing. They’re super easy to make—with just 3 ingredients needed. And, there’s also a quick ‘n easy warming process (for the almond butter and maple syrup) that gives you the same cozy vibes as those melting marshmallows and butter! 😉

And just in case you’re looking for a chocolatey version of this guy, try my chocolate peanut butter rice crispy treats–yep, from the archives!

Bonus: the mouthwatering, super cozy scent that fills your kitchen. There’s nothing quite like a treat that’s made with whole ingredients and still totally tasty!

Bonus bonus: the satisfaction you get from pressing that crisp rice cereal mixture down? Still here! (Am I the only odd person who needs this?!?)
