If you or one of your loved ones cannot eat dairy, this Coconut Oil Rice Krispie Treat recipe will be perfect for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coconut oil can easily be swapped out for butter in our award-winning Best Rice Krispie Treat recipe<\/a>. If you cook or bake with coconut oil, you already know there's a difference in flavor between virgin unrefined coconut oil and refined coconut oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don't use coconut oil often, you should know that virgin unrefined coconut oil<\/strong> has a stronger coconut flavor than refined coconut oil<\/strong>. When you make these dairy-free crispy treats using virgin coconut oil, the treats will have a slight tropical flavor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we had people taste-test our Vegan Rice Krispie Treats recipe<\/a> (which are gluten-free too) we found most people really enjoyed the tropical flavor of the treats made using virgin coconut oil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No one actually recognized the flavor as coconut they just thought the treats had a slightly sweeter flavor than traditional treats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, if you want a sweeter less buttery-flavored cereal treat, use coconut oil instead of butter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make dairy-free rice crispy treats that have a stronger butter flavor, you can also use dairy-free butter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
