No need to rely on store-bought Rice Krispies Treats anymore with all of that sugar, corn syrup, margarine, and dextrose! Enjoy this Trim Healthy treat with all of the benefits of brown rice, gelatin, and whey protein! Throw them in your kids’ lunch bags or take some along for a quick pick-me-up E snack for yourself! This recipe is found in the "Delicious Desserts & Treats - More Sweet Treats" section, page 438 of the Trim Healthy Table Cookbook.

Ingredients
  • 11 brown rice cakes (unsalted)
  • 2 Tbs TH Just Gelatin
  • 1 1/2 Cup water
  • 1/3 Cup TH Gentle Sweet (plus 3 tbs)
  • 1/4 Tsp xanthan gum
  • 1 1/2 Tsp TH Natural Burst Vanilla Extract (pure)
  • 1/4 Tsp TH Mineral Salt
  • 4 Tbs TH Pristine Protein Powder (unflavored, 1 scoop)
Instructions
  1. 1
    Place the rice cakes in a gallon zippy bag. Seal the bag. Squeeze and crush the brown rice cakes until they turn into a nice-size crumble, about ¼- to ½-inch pieces.
  2. 2
    Place the crumbled brown rice cakes into a 9 × 13-inch pan. Smooth them into the pan so they are distributed evenly.
  3. 3
    Combine the gelatin with ½ cup of the water in a small bowl and stir. Allow to sit so the gelatin dissolves.
  4. 4
    Place the remaining 1 cup water in a small saucepan over high heat and bring to a rapid boil.
  5. 5
    In a large bowl, combine the sweetener, xanthan gum, vanilla, and salt. Add the softened gelatin, then slowly pour in the boiling water. Start beating on high speed with an electric hand mixer until the mixture gets thick and marshmallow- like. Be patient; it takes a while. After the first 5 minutes of beating, add the whey protein a little at a time, then beat for another 3 to 4 minutes.
  6. 6
    Pour the marshmallow mixture on top of the crumbled brown rice cakes and use a small spatula to stir the mixture into the crumbles until all the pieces are covered. Smooth and pat the mixture down using your spatula and press firmly into the pan.
  7. 7
    Refrigerate the pan for 4 hours. Cut into squares and serve. Store leftovers in a sealed container or baggie and keep in the refrigerator.
Note

Recipe Revision:

Brown Rice Krispy Treats ~ (Page 438) ~ PLEASE NOTE: These are helpful tips. An official correction is in progress.

a. The Lundgren brand of unsalted brown rice cakes (the rice cakes that are mentioned in the Trim Healthy Table Cookbook), the entire bag weighs 8.5 ounces. If you use another brand such as Quaker, Aldi or a store brand, most of those bags weigh 4.5 ounces.

b.The amount of marshmallow mixture used in the recipe will coat 11 of the Lundgren brand of unsalted rice cakes nicely. Some have mentioned that they did use all 13 rice cakes that came in the bag. (Those that used the 13 brown rice cakes have noted that they may not have beat the marshmallow for long enough, using the extra two rice cakes were enough to create a firm treat.)

c. If using another brand of brown rice cakes you would need to use 2 bags if they are 4.5 ounces each, for the amount of marshmallow mixture that is used in this recipe.

d. When breaking up your Lundgren or other brown rice cakes, keep the crumble closer to 1/2 inch pieces. Do not crush or grind fine. Crumble with your hand.

e. When beating the marshmallow mixture, make sure that you beat it until it is nice and thick. If you are unsure of the thickness, let it the mixture set for a few minutes and then beat for another 5 minutes.

f. Upon comparing the loft and density of the Lundgren brand of brown rice cakes (the brand mentioned in the recipe, found in Trim Healthy Table) to the store bought brand of brown rice cakes, there is a big difference.

g. There have been successful Brown Rice Krispy Treats with the recipe as written as well.
