These healthy rice crispy treats are a marshmallow-free version of my classic Vegan Rice Crispy Treats Recipe.

Ingredients and Substitutions

Most classic Easter Nest recipes call for butter and marshmallows. Both are not vegan-friendly and not really healthy either. So here I am sharing a healthy twist to the classic Rice Krispie Easter treat that kids will love.

Puffed Rice Cereals – read the paragraph above to learn how to choose vegan Rice Krispies for vegan dessert recipes. Peanut Butter – pick the most natural, unrefined peanut butter made only from peanuts. Coconut Oil – coconut oil keeps the nests together at room temperature. Vanilla Extract – for more flavors. Vegan-Colored Chocolate Candies or vegan jelly beans, and they look like mini eggs.
