Should say No Gluten in subject line it wont let me change it now:(. These are amazing like peanut brittel. The only sugar comes from the peanut butter. I subbed the Maple Syrup with Slenda Brown Sugar. Super easy to make. I calculated the cals to be 120 if you cut to 12 pcs.

Buckwheat Krispie Treats (don't be scared seriously yummy)

I sprayed a container with Pam and they did not stick.

Makes: 12 servings, Prep time: 15 minutes, Chilling time: 60 minutes

Ingredients

1 cup raw buckwheat groats
¼ cup plus 1 T peanut butter
¼ cup coconut oil
2 tsp. maple syrup (I used Brown Sugar Splenda)
3 tsp. vanilla extract (preferably alcohol-free)
½ tsp. sea salt
Directions

Prepare an 8 by 8 baking dish by lining it with parchment or tin foil and lightly spritzing with oil.
In a medium pot, combine and heat peanut butter, coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract on medium low heat. Reduce or remove from heat if it starts to bubble.

Meanwhile, toast groats over medium heat in a large skillet.
Stir the groats into the peanut butter mixture.

Pour mixture into prepared baking dish. Spread flat, sprinkle lightly with coarse salt and freeze for an hour or so.
Remove from freezer and cut into 2 inch squares. You’ll have nine 2-inch squares and some slightly smaller outer edge pieces.
Store in the refrigerator to prevent oxidizing and to help them retain their shape.
