Description
Let’s take a nostalgic classic and give it a naturally sweet, wholesome upgrade. You know that first gooey, crispy, marshmallow-y bite of a Rice Krispies treat? Well, imagine that, but with a creamy banana twist and a drizzle of golden honey—the result? Absolute perfection.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 ripe banana, mashed (about ½ cup)
- ½ cup honey
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Optional: ½ teaspoon cinnamon or a handful of mini chocolate chips
Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Pan
- Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper and lightly grease it with butter or nonstick spray.
Step 2: Make the Honey-Banana Mixture
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and honey together, stirring until smooth.
- Add the mashed banana, vanilla extract, and salt, mixing until fully combined. Let it bubble gently for 1 minute, then remove from heat.
Step 3: Combine with Rice Krispies
- Pour the warm mixture over the Rice Krispies in a large bowl. Stir gently until everything is evenly coated.
Step 4: Press & Set
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and press it down firmly with a spatula (or your hands, lightly greased).
- Let the treats cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then slice into squares and enjoy!
