These have been a yummy treat and even breakfast here. It's got some protein, fiber, carbs, healthy brain fat, and a bit of sweetener.
Peanut Butter Crispies (Inspired by this recipe)
Ingredients
scoop of peanut butter (or any nut butter of your preference)
scoop of coconut oil
a sweetener of choice--sugar, honey, agave, maple syrup, coconut sugar*--but not too much
crispy rice cereal (I use Barbara's Brown Rice Crisps--they're gluten free)
Directions
Place the nut butter, coconut oil, and sweetener (if using) in a microwave safe bowl. Heat in microwave for about 20 seconds to warm and soften. Stir the ingredients in the bowl. After mixed, add in some cereal and stir to coat the cereal. Enjoy warm or stick it in the fridge to harden. My kiddos like this with a couple chocolate chips on top :)
*Check out this info about Coconut Palm Sugar. I need to research it more, but it is worth it! Coconut oil is so important and nutritious for us. Our brains and cell walls need the healthy fat in coconut oil. Chocolate Covered Katie has some fabulous treats using coconut oil!
