Spiced Crispy Squares

These babies are a must on your holiday baking list. They're kind of like a traditional rice crispy, but better!

Our Adapt powder gives these squares added benefit with clean protein, warming spices like cinnamon and cardamom to balance blood sugar, and calming adaptogenic herbs.

These are so easy to make. The only tough part is trying not to eat them all in one sitting.

What You Need:

• 1 cup natural peanut butter (smooth!)
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/4 cup coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup Align Plant Protein
• 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt (omit if peanut butter is salted)
• 3 cups whole grain crisped rice cereal ( like crispy rice)

To Make:

In a small saucepan, combine everything except the rice cereal and heat gently on low heat, stirring until completely combined. 

Place the cereal in a large mixing bowl, then pour the peanut butter mixture over top. Using a spatula, mix thoroughly for a few minutes until all the rice is completely coated. 

Line a 9 by 11 or 8 by 8 baking dish with parchment paper, then pour the cereal mixture into the pan. Use the spatula to spread it out evenly. Let set in the fridge for at least 3 hours. Remove from the pan by lifting the whole batch out with the parchment paper edges. Then cut into small squares and enjoy. Store in the fridge for up to a week.
