GRANOLA PEANUT BUTTER BALLS

I have a chef friend, Nancy Russman in Louisville Kentucky, who spends a lot of her time teaching kids to cook and eat healthier snacks. When she first met me and my son there at a Julia Child birthday party I was cooking for, she made a big impression on him, much bigger than Julia! Probably because she's very short, and closer to his size than Julia. She taught him the cheer of "Go Cats!" in support of the Louisville Wildcats. We also had a nice tour of the Louisville Slugger Baseball Bat Factory, a visit to a bourbon distillery for another Julia party and a visit to my favorite goat cheese maker, Judy Schad, in nearby Greenville Indiana. This is one of Nancy's kid-friendly recipes that the kids can help make.

Tips:

For a chewier granola ball, use less peanut butter and more rolled oats.
If you want a sweeter granola ball, add more maple syrup or honey.
To make the granola balls more chocolatey, add some cocoa powder or melted chocolate chips.
For a nuttier granola ball, add some chopped nuts, such as almonds, walnuts, or pecans.
To make the granola balls more colorful, add some dried fruit, such as raisins, cranberries, or blueberries.
If you don't have any rolled oats, you can use quick oats or old-fashioned oats instead. Just be sure to adjust the amount of liquid you add, as quick oats and old-fashioned oats absorb more liquid than rolled oats.
These granola balls can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
