Almond Butter and Chocolate Brown Rice Crispy Treats… Ingredients: 5 cups of either crisp
Almond Butter and Chocolate Brown Rice Crispy Treats… Ingredients: 5 cups of either crispy brown rice or just puffed brown rice cereal (I don’t mind them either way all depends what your into) ½ cup firm almond butter (peanut or what ever floats your boat) ½ cup creamed honey (or brown rice syrup) 2 tbsp coconut oil (or dairy free margarine) 2 tbsp cocoa powder 5 tbsp chocolate protein powder (I used a raw organic brown rice protein) ½ cup almond milk Topping ingredients: 375gms 80% cocoa dark chocolate 3 tbsp coconut milk or almond milk 12 whole raw almonds sliced for garnish Instructions: Measure out five cups of puffed/crispy brown rice and place in a large mixing bowl. In a small sauce pan add the nut butter, honey, coconut oil, almond milk, and cocoa. On medium heat whisk until all ingredients are smooth & combined. Remove from heat & whisk in your protein powder. Once all wet ingredients are combined fold mix through the rice puffs. In a greased slice tray press out your crispy mix firmly to ensure later when hardened you have a nicely packed & shaped slice. In a small bowl add chocolate & coconut milk on medium heat in a microwave melt slowly taking the bowl out every 20sec, and stirring to ensure you don’t burn your garnish mix. Once melted decorate the top of your slice with your chocolate mix as desired, and top with your sliced almonds. Place your slice either in the freezer for an hour or the fridge for 3 depending on how much you want to consume! Once firm portion to desired shape. These are a fantastic way to get that much needed protein in with out gaging over those sometimes not so fantastic protein shakes. There full of complex carbohydrates, good fats and yummy chocolate to keep you going! -- source link
