If you’re looking to get rid of the syrup, try a non-sweetened binding agent like – Xanthan gum, psyllium husk powder, and guar gum, or reconstituted meringue powder.

Add cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, or other savoury spices to increase flavour without adding sugar.

Or simply reduce the syrup amount, add some water and heat until it rethickens… can help stretch the sugar further…

Thanks for the recipe; I’m off to make it for my mother-in-law :)

I used almond butter. Wow it tasted just like my mom used to make. But without the added sugar. Great recipe!

How about leaving out the nut butter? Would this ruin the recipe?

Just tried this. Very nice. A much much healthier way to eat puffed wheat squares. Thanks.

What could I substitute for rice syrup I wonder? Could I just use all maple syrup?

Hi, these look great! My 3 year old came home from daycare begging for puffed wheat squares, so I bought some puffed kamut with the intention of making a healthier version, and then I found yours. I am wondering if they would set with honey instead of the brown rice syrup? I think I will try it out and see. Maybe the honey would need to boil for a few minutes first?

In reply to Tatum. You should be fine with any seed butter, Tatum! :)

Hi, wondering what I could substitute for the nut butter? I’d love to make these for school but we have a no nut policy.
