Healthier version of classic rice crispy treats without the gelatin! Each square is just 5 grams of fat and less than 150 calories.

Ingredients

• 8 cups gluten-free brown rice cereal (use crispy rice, NOT puffed!)
• ¼ cup ground flax seed
• 1 cup brown rice syrup
• 2/3 cup unsweetened sunflower seed butter
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Lightly oil a 9×13 pan with whatever oil you have on hand. Coconut oil, safflower, sunflower, or vegan butter spread, would work well. Set aside.
2. Place brown rice cereal and ground flax seed in a large bowl. Stir to combine and set aside.
3. In a medium-sized sauce pan or frying pan, add rice syrup, sunflower seed butter and vanilla extract. Heat over medium heat, stirring often, until ingredients have liquified, about 5 minutes.
4. Pour syrup over rice crisp mixture and stir to coat.
5. Once all crisps have been coated, drop the mixture into the prepared pan and even it out with a spatula, pressing down firmly.
6. Allow to sit for 1 hour in the refrigerator before cutting into squares.
