Granola Bites
Granola Bites combine rolled oats, nuts, seeds, shredded coconut, dried fruits, and warm spices into small, chewy snack-sized bites. The mixture is held together by maple syrup and melted coconut oil, offering a naturally sweet and textured treat without baking. These bites provide a handy, nutrient-packed option for quick snacking or light lunches.
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats old fashioned
- ¼ cup almonds sliced
- ¼ cup walnuts chopped
- ¼ cup Pepitas
- ¼ cup coconut unsweetened, shredded
- ¼ cup sunflower seeds raw
- 2 Tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 1 Tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 Tablespoon coconut oil melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt sea salt
- 1 ½ cups dates
- 1 ½ cups raisins
Instructions
- Add oats, almonds, walnuts, pepitas, coconut, sunflower seeds, maple/honey, sesame seeds, coconut oil, vanilla, cinnamon and sea salt in a large mixing bowl. Toss to combine.
- Add dried fruit to a food processor with the chopping blade and process until the mixture is completely chopped and forms into a big, sticky ball.
- Pull the dried fruit from the processor and break into small pieces. Add it to the bowl with the oat mixture and use a plastic spatula or your hands to combine everything together.
- Once combined, form bites into small cookie shaped pucks (or roll into balls). Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment.
- Enjoy right away or store in the fridge for later. Will last 1-2 weeks in the fridge or 3 months in the freezer.
Notes
- Dried fruits like cranberries, apricots, figs, or prunes can be used as alternatives to dates and raisins.
- Try different nuts such as pecans, cashews, or pistachios to change the flavor and texture.
- Use any combination of seeds you have on hand for variation and enhanced nutrition.
- For a nut-free version, replace nuts entirely with a mix of seeds.
