I was at my girlfriends place last night for some well deserved girly time :) for dinner, wine and company. And she asked me of there was a choice out there for vegan and or healthy marshmallows for her rice krispy treats for her little girl. Of which I replied there are companies out there making vegan options, but not necessarily any more healthy. Which got me thinking... I hadn't had krispy treats in years and they were one of my favorites as a kid too. Why shouldn't I be able to enjoy them again. So I came up with an recipe that doesn't require marshmallows at all. And is full of calcium! Do I have your attention yet? I decided to experiment with replacing marshmallow with tahini. Which is a middle eastern paste made form sesame seeds. Which contains a higher amount of calcium than milk!
Ingredients for Crispy treats
1/2 cup of tahini paste
1/4 cup of raw or creamed honey
2 tbs of real maple syrup
1/8 cup of coconut oil
1tbs of ground cinnamon
1/2 cup of dried cranberries
2 tsp of sesame seeds
2 tsp of ground flax seeds
6 cups of whole wheat rice crisps
Setting the crisps aside with the cranberries and cinnamon. Start the wet mixture in a small sauce pan on medium heat, stirring with a fork or a whisk until it is brought together and silky. Combining all ingredients together in the mixing bowl and transferring to a square pan. Run your hands under some water and flatten the mixture out. Then refrigerate + enjoy!
