Amazingly soft and chewy Peanut Butter Protein Rice Krispie Treats but healthy and sugar free! These protein powder rice crispy treats use peanut butter and peanut butter powder for that amazing flavor and have no marshmallows.

I’d had protein rice crispy treats on my todo list for the longest time, but didn’t know there would actually be any ‘demand’ for it, so I just let it go.

Turns out my IG audience actually wanted a high protein rice krispy treat recipe, so here we are.

To keep it sugar free and low fat though, I used peanut butter powder, peanut butter, sugar free maple syrup and flaxseed meal to make these healthy rice krispy treats. Very diet friendly 🙂
