These Coconut Oil Rice Crispy Treats are easy, quick, and so delicious! A dairy free version of the classic treat that you are guaranteed to love!
Rice Crispy (or Krispy) Treats were a favorite of mine growing up. I’m thinking my mom made them a lot because they are so easy. No baking, only a few minutes involved, and so good! I still love them and I wanted to try making them with coconut oil in place of the butter- it was a great idea! You will not miss the butter- promise!!
All you need is 3 simple ingredients to make these. It can’t get much easier than that!One tip I have is to make sure the pan you use is big enough. It has to hold not only all those melted marshmallow, but also all the rice crispies. I have had a mess more than once trying to make these work in a too small pan.
These are gooey, sweet, and the perfect combination of crispies and marshmallows. I know that might not seem like a big deal, but I have definitely had overly dry and overly marshmallowy treats. Made this way will result in ooey, gooey, soft, pillowy, sweet squares. They are perfect!
Because coconut oil replaces the butter, these are dairy free. They can also easily be made gluten free if you use gluten free rice crispy cereal. I made them with both regular and gluten free cereal and both turned out great.
You will love these Coconut Oil Rice Crispy Treats because they are so fast, easy, and delicious!

Hi Vanessa- they should stay good for about a week in an air tight container. Hope you try them!
Heather says
Have to retry these treats, but 110.5 oz marshmellow? should it be grams?
Jessica DeMay says
Hi Heather- that’s 1 (one) 10.5oz bag. Hope that helps!

Hi Jessica-My kids are also allergic to coconut, so I can’t use the oil. Will regular vegetable oil work in this recipe?
Thanks!!!
Jessica DeMay says
Hi Lisa- I haven’t tried them with any other oil so I can’t say for sure. The only one I would recommend is avocado oil because it’s light in flavor and color. I think it’s worth a try and should come out good. Enjoy!
