Instructions
Stepwise Method: Granola Bites
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, ground flaxseed, and crispy rice cereal. Stir them together until well mixed.
- Add the creamy peanut butter, honey (or agave), and vanilla extract to the bowl. Use a spatula to mix everything together until fully combined. The mixture should be sticky and hold together.
- Fold in the mini chocolate chips, raisins, dried cherries, coconut, or chopped nuts of your choice. Make sure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- With clean hands, take small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Alternatively, you can press the mixture into a baking dish lined with parchment paper to create bars.
- Place the granola bites in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up. This step is crucial as it helps the bites hold their shape.
- Once chilled, your granola bites are ready to be enjoyed! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
