Brown Rice Crispy Balls…

I’ve been wanting to make some sort of “healthy” treat for M (and me) to eat. After playing around the kitchen… I came up with these Brown Rice Crispy Balls. They are so easy to make!! And so good!

The ingredients are simple:

  • 2 1/2 cups Brown Rice Crispy’s
  • 1 tablespoon Chia Seeds (optional)
  • 1/2 cup Brown Rice Syrup
  • 1/2 cup Sunflower Seed Butter (or any nut butter)

In a small sauce pan, combine brown rice syrup and nut butter, and stir over medium-low heat just until mixture is combined and smooth.

Would you just look at that!! I swear I could’ve just consumed the nut butter/rice syrup mixture! It was sooo good!!

Pour nut butter sauce over rice crispy’s and chia seeds. Stir until combined.

Roll into 1 inch balls. I used a melon ball scooper. It worked perfectly 🙂

My goodness these things are so good! M LOVED them! They were so easy for her to eat! Plus… I have a healthy treat for me too 🙂

    I don’t mind 94deg weather if it’s dry. Unfortunately where I live it is beyond humid. The humidity tacks on at least 10degrees! crazy.

    I like Bulletproof by La Roux, and Cooler than Me by Michael Posner

    The rice balls so great..and so easy to make!

    PS I love that M’s wearing a headband. That’s ridiculously cute. She should be a Gap baby.

    I love the little hairband, so cute! I agre with Tracey that she should be a GAP baby.

    I made similar rice balls once and I loved them! Now I am trying to figure out what I can use instead of nut butter as I’ve had to eliminate nuts from my life. 🙁

    These look so awesome 🙂 You’re the coolest mom ever. Her lunch looks waaay better than mine!!

    I always listen to country when I work out. I’m sort of obsessed with Sugarlands new single 🙂

    these balls look amazing! when i was a lil girl my grandma used to take cocoa krispies + PB + who else knows what and melt it all together and make bars..these look great and clearly healthier than gram’s recipe 🙂

    fave workout tracks..omg i listen to some ghetto stuff sometimes while working out, makes me feel so badass LOL and also 80s hair bands..and Lady Gaga!

    Great, I never knew this, thanks.

    I would have dug into that “batter” it looks so good. I always eat my granola bars before I freeze them! I am also in need of some new music on my ipod, but I agree with Averie, I do love Lady Gaga, also Maroon 5. I’ll be coming back here for some suggestions!

    WHY am I just now finding your blog? I love it!!! I have a 21 month old daughter and I always love connecting with moms I can get ideas from and share with on healthy parenting. That lunch looks right up something my girl’s alley. PS – She is M too. 🙂
