Granola Bites
Description
This recipe brings together dry ingredients such as oats, flaxseed, and crispy rice cereal with peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract to form a sticky dough. Chocolate chips, dried cherries, nuts, or coconut are added for flavor and texture variety.
The mixture is scooped into bite-sized balls and stored in an airtight container, which keeps them fresh in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or can be frozen for longer storage. The bites have a dense, chewy consistency with the occasional crunch from the cereal and nuts.
Granola Bites make a quick snack or lunchbox addition that requires no baking. They are easily customized by swapping nut butters or add-ins according to preference or dietary needs.
