• servings: 30 servings
• active time: 1 hour 15 minutes
• total time: 1 hour 15 minutes

Ingredients

2 cups (200 g) quick oats

1 cup crispy rice cereal (like Rice Krispies)

1 cup (255 g) creamy peanut butter

1 cup (96 g) ground flaxseed

1 cup (170 g) mini chocolate chips

2/3 cup (227 g) honey or agave nectar

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

2 tablespoons coconut oil

Pinch of salt

Directions

Combine honey, peanut butter, vanilla and coconut oil together bowl. Then combine dry ingredients (oats, flaxseed, chocolate chips) except Rice Krispies . Mix the dry with the wet ingredients. The add Rice Krispies and mix 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 small cooking sheet. 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

These can be gluten free is using gf oats and gf Rice Krispies.

Bonnie changed the order of mixing on the original recipe to make it easier and also added a pinch of salt.
