If you are looking for an easy cookie recipe to make, I recommend you choose a no bake cookie recipe. Quick, easy, and no oven required which is really nice once the weather starts to warm up. I have a serious weakness for Rice Krispie Treats…they are one of those classics from my childhood that just pull me in whenever I see them. However, I am not a huge fan of using marshmallows since they aren’t exactly healthy. I searched around online and found several recipes for healthy no bake cookies just like Rice Krispie Treats that required no marshmallows at all! Of course, I covered them in chocolate but that is TOTALLY healthy, right?
Healthy No Bake Cookie Recipe
For this no bake cookie recipe I used Erewhon Crispy Brown Rice Cereal which I found on clearance at Krogers. I LOVE the clearance section at my local Kroger….I find organic and natural items there all the time.

You could use almond butter, peanut butter or whatever other nut butter you like in these healthy no bake cookies. They hold together quite nicely, although store them in the refrigerator so they don’t get too soft.
If you don’t have brown rice syrup for this no bake cookie recipe you could probably try another sweetener but I am not sure how well it would hold together!
