    You may think that classic Kellogg's Brand Rice Krispies are gluten-free because rice is a naturally gluten-free grain, but they are made with malt flavoring. The malt is derived from barley which is a gluten-containing grain. Therefore, they are definitely NOT gluten-free!

    Aren't Kellogg's Rice Krispies Just Made From Rice?

    When my daughter was first diagnosed with Celiac Disease back in 2011, Kelloggs did have a GF version of rice crispies, but it was discontinued not too long after....then for years I used Erewhorn brand, but they have been discontinued also. It can be very frustrating to find gluten-free products you love, and then no longer be able to find them.

    Thankfully, there are now plenty of brands creating delicious gluten-free rice crispy substitutions to help you recreate this classic childhood favorite!

    Here are a few of our favorite Gluten-Free Rice Krispies Substitutions:

    • One Degree Brown Rice Crisps
    • 365 WholeFroods Brand Gluten-Free Brown Rice Crisps

    Making Rice Krispie Treats has been a long time family tradition for summer BBQ's and holiday desserts. They're loved by both kids and adults, and are an easy, no-bake treat. I continue to follow the "Original" Rice Krispie Treat Recipe only subbing in the gluten-free rice crispies.

    Dietary Substitutions

    Dairy Free: The only ingredient in rice krispie treats that contains dairy is the butter. Go ahead and use a plant-based butter such as Earth Balance. You can also try coconut oil, although be sure to used refined coconut oil or it might give you some coconut flavor.

    Vegan:ย Use My Dandy Vegan marshmallows which do not contain gelatin.
