Peanut ،er cups are a Fit Foodie Find specialty and this variation has to be my favorite. I’ve made this exact recipe at least 10 times over the course of the years and it alway،s the s،.

They’re similar to our healthy peanut ،er cups, but have rice crispy cereal in them to give them a nice crunch.

What is in these rice crispy peanut ،er cups?

  • Peanut ،er: make sure to use a drippy, all-natural peanut ،er, if possible.
  • Coconut oil: coconut oil gives it that fud، texture once they’re frozen.
  • Honey: these are sweetened with ،ney, but I’ve made them with maple syrup too.
  • Rice Krispies Cereal: crispy rice cereal is what gives them a crunch.

Ingredient Swaps and Variations

Nut Butter: If you have a peanut allergy you can absolutely swap the peanut ،er for a different nut ،er such as almond or cashew.

Make it C،colate: Try using a c،colate crispy rice cereal for a c،colate variation and heck, add some cocoa powder too to make it extra c،colatey.

Sweetener: You’ve got options when it comes to sweeteners. We used ،ney, but maple syrup and agave work too.

Storage

We recommend storing these in the freezer. Once they’ve frozen solid, you can remove them from the ،in tin and transfer them into an airtight container. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months.

When you’re ready to eat, let them thaw for a few minutes and enjoy!

Tips & Notes

  • If your batter isn’t easily poured into the cupcake tin, add more melted coconut oil. You do not want your batter to be too thick and sometimes thickness is dependent on ،w oily your nut ،er is.
  • Option to replace ،ney with maple syrup.
  • Option to replace peanut ،er with any other nut ،er such as cashew or almond.
  • Store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
