Instructions

Combine all the ingredients together in a large bowl, mixing gently so the crispy rice cereal doesn't get crushed. Mix until well-combined.
Using a cookie scoop (or roll small amounts in your hands), drop rounded tablespoonful-sized portions onto a parchment or wax paper lined cooking sheeet. I used my cookie scoop and then rolled the scooped portion out between my palms.
Refrigerate for 1-2 hours. At this point you can serve them or combine the chilled granola bites in a large tupperware-type container or ziploc bags to freeze or refrigerate. They will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to a week or for a few months in the freezer.

Notes

Chia: Kira who sent me the recipe also includes 2 tablespoons ground chia seeds with the dry ingredients (I haven't used them when I've made them...yet!).
Ingredient Amounts: also, feel free to play around with the amounts, increasing or decreasing ingredients, adding dried fruit, coconut, etc. Just keep an eye on the consistency so that it still forms a mixture that sticks together when formed into balls.
Coconut Oil: the coconut oil isn't absolutely necessary but I loved the smooth silkiness it gave to the granola bites plus if you use extra-virgin instead of expeller-pressed, you'll get a sweet hint of coconut.
