Healthy Maple/Ginger Rice ‘Scotcheroos’
I used Ginger Syrup by the Ginger People for this recipe. I found it at my health food shop, but you can also order online! It is great to use in place of maple syrup in some bakes.

These no-bake rice bars are simple to put together and make for a delish, healthy alternative to other rice treats. Here we use ginger syrup for sweetness and spice, as well as powdered peanut butter for protein while keeping the treat light and airy.
Ingredients
50g (2c) Rice Cereal or Puffs (if using puffs, blitz them a bit to finer texture)
150g (1/2c + 2 tbsp) Peanut Butter *see note
2 tbsp Maple Syrup
4 tbsp Ginger Syrup
1/2 tsp Vanilla
1/2 tsp Cinnamon
Baking Dark Chocolate (I used 1/3 of bar)
Directions
- Add all ingredients except chocolate to bowl and mix until thoroughly incorporated and it begins to stick together. If too dry, don’t hesitate to add more PB/Syrup, you want to be able to mold these by hand.
- Shape to desired balls or squares, bite size pieces.
- Melt baking chocolate and drizzle over top of rice pieces. Add PB drizzle, if you’d like!
- Fridge for 30 min.
Notes
- I love to use powdered peanut butter, with a pinch of salt and coconut milk to thicken. See pic below!
