These granola bites are filled with protein and chocolate.
I came across the recipe for these granola bites from Like Mother Like Daughter (http://lmld.org) and I am loving them. They are packed with peanut butter, chocolate, and oats. A great snack to make for kids and even yourself. I'm finding myself popping them in my mouth anytime I need a midday snack. Give them a try and if you have kids, this is a great recipe to make with them.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup M&Ms (I used regular because I still have some leftover from Valentine's Day. I recommend mini M&Ms because they are easier to work in with the dough.)
Directions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, peanut butter, and honey. Stir with a fork. Next add in the chocolate chips and M&Ms and mix. Once well mixed, take the dough and roll into 1 inch balls between your hands. Place the balls on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
Place the cookie sheet in the fridge and let the granola bits set, about 30 minutes. Store in the fridge in an air tight container. Enjoy!
