Healthy Vegan Almond Butter & Chocolate Crispy Treats
Happy Friday!
I hope you all had a great week, and have an even better weekend! Before I take off, I wanted to leave you with a delicious recipe that I made along yesterday’s meal prep. You’ll for sure want to add this to your weekend grocery list. These healthy vegan crispy treats are made with almond butter and finished off with a no sugar added dark chocolate drizzle! They are perfect with a cup of coffee, an after-dinner dessert, and healthy enough for breakfast! 
This recipe only has five ingredients, and you can totally make swaps! It has almond butter, organic rice cereal, brown rice syrup, coconut oil, and no sugar added vegan dark chocolate.
See the pretty lavender? Totally grew that from my little herb garden! eeeek.
I was worried this recipe wouldn’t stick together, but they turned out perfect! I’ve always been a marshmallow rice crispy treat kind of girl, but almond butter is totally the new marshmallow! If you don’t like or have almond butter, you can use any kind of nut butter you wish! I may try these with peanut butter next time.
They also sell this cereal in chocolate! That could be a fun swap. 
I decided to keep the rice theme going for the sweetener. I had a whole jar of this stuff leftover from the granola bars I made and thought this would be a great use for it. You could use honey, agave, or syrup as a substitute.
Grease a pan with coconut oil or avocado oil before adding the mixture. 
I melted two 70% Lily’s vegan & no sugar added chocolate bars with one tablespoon of coconut oil for the top layer!
I used a spoon to drizzle the chocolate on top. 
After you drizzle the chocolate, place it in the freezer to harden! After it hardened, I covered it and left it out on the counter overnight. This recipe makes 20 bars! I’m not the best cutter, so they are all pretty uneven 🙂

Questions for you!
- What are you up to this weekend?
- Should I make these using the chocolate cereal with peanut butter?
You could totally also use puffed quinoa in this recipe! Would make it even healthier! Love love your recipes!
Oh that would be awesome!
The food looks good, but may I just commend you on the backdrop of the photo?! I love that you put so much effort into your photography is truly remarkable and I don’t feel like it’s appreciated enough.
Thank you so much, Linda! That is so sweet of you!

Chocolate and peanut butter are the best combination 😊

Thanks so much, Kelly!
It’s the best chocolate! I NEED to try the blood orange! speaking of, I bet that would be good on top!
These look so good! I love all of your vegan recipes lately 🙂
Thanks so much!!
These look SO good! I love all the vegan recipes! Just curious, why do you bake vegan if you aren’t vegan? Is it to make healthier options? Hope you have a nice weekend! 🙂
Hi, Eileen!
I just promised myself that I would eat more plant-based foods this year. My gyno recommended that I try more plant-based foods around my time of month to help with endo pains as well, so I’ve been trying that out. I also know that a ton of my readers are vegan and have been requesting them 🙂
These look incredible! Going to make them tonight so ready for tomorrow’s hike. And yes chocolate cereal and peanut but would be amazing!
Thanks, Harriet!! Hope you have a fun hike!
I used peanut butter and they turned out delicious! My kids love them.
So happy to hear that, Cate!
These look amazing!
Thanks so much, Kammy!!!!
Where do you find sugar free chocolate?
You can get Lily’s on Amazon or try your local grocery stores!
These turned out great! I used peanut butter and added chocolate chips inside.
SOUNDS AMAZING!
Made these with chocolate Koala Crisps and peanut butter and they were amazing! Thank you for the recipe 🤗
Oh yum! I may have to try that!
