Jump to Recipe

I’d had protein rice crispy treats on my todo list for the longest time, but didn’t know there would actually be any ‘demand’ for it, so I just let it go.

Turns out my IG audience actually wanted a high protein rice krispy treat recipe, so here we are.

To keep it sugar free and low fat though, I used peanut butter powder, peanut butter, sugar free  maple syrup and flaxseed meal to make these healthy rice krispy treats. Very diet friendly 🙂

Ingredients for Peanut Butter Protein Rice Krispie Treats

These peanut butter protein rice krispie treats are made with clean ingredients like protein powder, peanut butter powder and sugar free maple syrup, and have no marshmallows! A great healthy protein crispy treats recipe.

• Rice Krispies Cereal
• Creamy Peanut Butter
• Vanilla Protein Powder for high protein energy bars, and also replace the sweetener.
  I recommend Protein World Slender Blend or ProteinWorld Whey for this recipe to keep it sugar free; Use the code HAYLSKITCHEN for a discount.
  Another option would be Quest.
• Peanut Butter Powder, also known as Powdered Peanut Butter. I recommend Lakanto for a sugar free version (the code HAYLSKITCHEN gives you a discount). Or you could use the one from PbFit too.
• Sugar free Maple Syrup for low calorie protein bar with no sugar!

I use the sugar free monk fruit maple syrup from Lakanto (code HAYLSKITCHEN gets you a discount)

• Flaxseed Meal
• Some Water

And for the chocolate topping:

• Chocolate Chips – I use sugar free ones from Lakanto here (HAYLSKITCHEN for a disocount here too). Lily’s is another sugar-free option!
• A bit of Coconut Oil
