Escoffier On Line

Hey,
i am on a sugar-free/gluten free plan, which (for now) includes no sugar of any kind, not even natural sugars like honey or molasses. I am working up some recipes, and would like to make a variation of a rice krispy treat.

I have three ingredients that taste good:

Gluten Free rice puffs cereal
Crunchy Almond Butter
Stevia Powder


I can heat the almond butter slightly, add stevia powder for a little sweet taste and mix in the rice puffs. the flavor is good, but i am missing the "sticky" to hold it together. Traditionally, of course, this is done with marshmallow. I can't use honey or any other natural sticky ingredient.

Can anyone suggest something that would help bind the treats together? Even if i have to refrigerate, that's fine...the almond butter does get semi hard in the fridge, which helps. i contemplated trying a flax seed gel...but not sure if that will work.

any suggestions are appreciated!!!
thanks

Not my recipe but I found this-

Sugar Free Rice Krispie Cookies

1 cup crushed Rice Krispies
1 cup sugar substitute
1 egg
1 1/2 cups Rice Krispies (not crushed)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 tbsp vanilla
3/4 cup chocolate chips
2-3 tbsps water, if necessary
1 tsp baking powder

Beat softened butter, egg, vanilla and sugar substitute together until fluffy.
Combine crushed cereal, baking powder, salt, and flour, until blended.
Add to above mixture, adding water if necessary.
Add rest of cereal, and chocolate chips. Keep adding water if too dry.
Roll into balls, flatten, and place on cookie sheet at least 1 inch apart.
Bake in 375° deegree oven for 10 minutes.

Let me know if it works.
