Health and fertility benefits of Peanut Butter Cereal Treats

One tbsp of honey has a glycemic index (GI) of 55. Brown rice is a natural source of Inositol, a derivative of Vitamin B (which is often prescribed in the form of supplements for women with PCOS). Inositol can effectively control the symptoms of PCOS by reducing insulin resistance and improving insulin sensitivity.

Ingredients

1 box crispy brown rice cereal (7 cups; we used Erewhon)
.67 c. natural creamy reduced-fat peanut butter
.67 c. honey
2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1/2 c. vanilla frosting

Instructions

Line a 15 x 10-in. jelly-roll baking pan with nonstick foil, leaving an overhang on two sides. Place the cereal in a large bowl.
In a small saucepan, combine the peanut butter and honey; simmer, stirring constantly, for 1 minute; stir in the vanilla. Immediately transfer to the bowl of cereal and mix well to combine.
Lightly coat a spatula with cooking spray and press the cereal mixture into the prepared pan. Refrigerate until firm, 1 hour.
Holding foil by the ends, lift and transfer the cereal square to a cutting board. If desired, cut out shapes using a 3-in. football-shaped cutter. Place the icing in a pastry bag fitted with a small round decorating tip and decorate like a football. Alternatively, cut into bars.
