Dairy-Free Rice Krispie Treats
These Dairy-Free Rice Krispie Treats are ooey, gooey, chewy, and everything you want in a classic Rice Krispie treat without the butter, thanks to coconut oil! These treats are completely dairy-free and gluten-free while still having that classic marshmallowy flavor and irresistible texture. You only need 4 simple ingredients and a few minutes to whip up a batch. They're super easy and quick to make and loved my kids and adults. Whether you're making them for your kids as an after school snack, a party, a bake sale or potluck, or just because you're craving something sweet, these are always a hit!
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp coconut oil
- 10 oz bag of small marshmallows
- 6 cups gluten-free crispy rice cereal
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Prepare a 9x13 pan with parchment paper. In a large pot, melt the coconut oil over medium heat.
- Then pour the marshmallows in and stir continuously until they melt & form a paste.
- Next, take the pot off the heat & pour in the crispy rice cereal, stirring continuously until combined.
- Once combined, pour the rice krispy mixture onto the parchment paper & flatten them using your hand.
- Let cool completely before cutting into squares or any shape you’d like. You can also use cookie cutters for fun shapes.
Notes
Fun Ways to Change It Up: These are delicious just as they are, but you can easily make them extra fun for holidays, parties, celebrations, or any day of the week! Some ways to change these treats up are:
- Dairy-free chocolate chips
- Another bag of mini marshmallows (NOT melted) added in with the cereal
- Gluten-free sprinkles (our favorite dye-free sprinkles and our favorite regular sprinkles ...because balance and whatever I have on hand)
- Mini chocolate candies like MnMs, Reese's pieces, etc
- A drizzle of dairy-free chocolate
- Crushed gluten-free cookies
- Freeze-dried strawberries
- A sprinkle of flaky sea salt
- We also love to add food coloring to the melted marshmallows for a colored treat
