Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup almond butter or peanut butter or sunflower seed butter (for nut free)
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ginger
  • 1/16 teaspoon cloves
  • 1/16 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4-5 cups crispy brown rice cereal
  • 2 tablespoon semi sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Line an 8 inch square baking pan with parchment, waxed paper, or foil. Set aside
  • Add pumpkin, almond butter, honey, cinnamon, salt, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk until completely combined. Let simmer for about 5-10 minutes, stirring often.
  • Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Let mixture cool for at least 15-25 minutes (this helps your treats not be soggy).
  • Add in crispy brown rice cereal and stir until completely combined. Press mixture into prepared baking pan.
  • Heat chocolate chips in a very small bowl in the microwave for about 20-45 seconds. Stir and heat another 15-30 seconds until melted. Drizzle chocolate over pumpkin rice crispy treats.
  • Refrigerate at least 30 minutes until chocolate has set and pumpkin rice crispy treats are cool. Cut into 16 squares. Enjoy!
