My life is so full of silly ridiculousness sometimes. I have like this running list of things that I’d like to get done each day and, sometimes before 8 am, I’m derailed. I was telling my mom just the other day that I used to pride myself on being 15 minutes early for every appointment. And now I’m either late or shaving it so close, I might as well be late. My mom reassures me that baby #2 is the time-eating culprit. I think she’s too cute for that, but the proof is in the pudding. So, I’m trying to come-up with ways to say “I’m sorry” when I’m late everywhere. Hence this fantastic creation I like to call: Rice Krispie Cookie Dough Pinwheel Treats. I can make them while I get the babies ready to go and be out the door just shy of 5 minutes late. Well, maybe.
Ingredients for Rice Krispie Cookie Dough Pinwheel Treats
Rice Krispies
- 3 tblspn coconut oil
- 1 bag of mini-marshmallows (paid link) (4 cups)
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal (or similar)
Cookie Dough
- 3/8 cup packed brown sugar
- 3/8 cup granulated white sugar
- 3 tblspn coconut milk (the kind you use for cereal, not the canned kind, unless that’s all you’ve got, but really at that point, don’t open a whole can to do this…just put some water in the milk’s place and see how it works out)
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup coconut oil, room temperature
- 1 cup oat flour (or, you can be cheap and lazy like me and just use baby oatmeal cereal)
- 1/2 cup dairy-free chocolate chips (paid link) (homemade or some of that store bought stuff, either way…but one day I’m going to make a recipe for some made with chocolate liqueur, so keep an eye-out for that)
How to Make Rice Krispie Cookie Dough Pinwheel Treats
- To make the Rice Krispie treats, in a large saucepan or dutch oven, melt coconut oil over medium heat.
- Add in marshmallows and continuously stir until marshmallows have melted.
- Remove from heat.
- Add Rice Krispies and continuously stir until all Rice Krispies are covered in marshmallow deliciousity.
- Allow to cool for 5 minutes until mixture can be safely handled.
- While that’s cooling, to make the cookie dough, cream the coconut oil and sugars together.
- Add vanilla, milk and salt and mix thoroughly.
- Mix-in the oat flour in 1/4 cup increments until mixture is smooth.
- Stir-in the chocolate chips.
- Lay-out a large sheet of wax paper and spray with your favorite cooking spray so the Rice Krispies won’t stick.
- Take the Rice Krispies and spread them in a rectangle across the wax paper–wet your hands to keep your skin from sticking to the treat mixture. Make sure it’s a consistent thickness all the way across and no more than 1/2 deep.
- Spread the cookie dough over the Rice Krispies evenly.
- On one end, lift the wax paper and kind of fold it over, forcing the Rice Krispies to roll-over. Keep rolling the whole thing tightly.
- Once it’s in a roll, mash it just a little as you roll it to make sure the layers are melded together.
- Using a sharp, wet knife, slice the roll into 1-inch wide cookie-slices.
- I can’t tell you what to do with them, but it involves an obscenely full mouth. Heh.
