Nutty Granola Bites

Ingredients:

• 1 cup granola

• 1/2 cup nut butter (almond butter, peanut butter, or your choice)

• 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup

• 1 cup rolled oats

• 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• A pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Combine Ingredients:

   • In a large mixing bowl, combine granola, nut butter, honey or maple syrup, rolled oats, mini chocolate chips, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.

2. Mix Thoroughly:

   • Stir the ingredients until well combined. The mixture should be sticky and hold together.

3. Chill in the Refrigerator:

   • Place the mixture in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. Chilling will make it easier to form the energy bites.

4. Form Bites:

   • Once chilled, take small portions and roll them into bite-sized balls using your hands.

5. Optional Coating:

   • Roll the energy bites in additional granola for an extra crunchy coating.

6. Store and Enjoy:

   • Place the energy bites on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for another 30 minutes to set.

   • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. These bites make for a convenient and energy-packed snack.
