NO BAKE GRANOLA BALLS

Healthy snacks that kids (and grown ups) will love! I originally got the recipe from Whole Foods, then changed it up a bit. This is dairy-free and vegetarian. NOTE: I have many a time made these without toasting the oats and coconut and it works out just fine that way as well :)

Time 25m

Yield 21 large cookies, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups rolled oats (sometimes I use 1.5 cups rolled oats and 0.5 cups steel cut oats)
1/2 cup unsweetened dried shredded coconut
1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter (if using JIF, Skippy or any brand with sugar, omit the sugar below)
1/2 cup honey
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar (lately I have been just using 2 T of Splenda instead of this)
1/4 cup chopped mixed nuts (I like to use almond slivers and chopped walnuts mixed or pistachio's)
1/8 cup raisins (I use golden ones)
1/8 cup dried cranberries (May sub with dried blueberries or dried cherries)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spread oats and coconut on a cookie sheet. Place in the oven and toast for about 12 minutes, stirring twice, until lightly browned.
  • Meanwhile, combine the peanut butter, honey and brown sugar in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring continuously, until ingredients are thoroughly blended and sugar has completely melted (about 2 minutes).
  • Add the toasted oats and coconut to the peanut butter mixture, followed by the nuts, raisins and cranberries. Stir to combine. Set aside to cool for about 10 minutes.
  • Working with dampened hands, shape into bite sized balls and refrigerate for an hour. I usually let mine sit out for about 15 minutes prior to serving.

GRANOLA PEANUT BUTTER BALLS



Granola Peanut Butter Balls image

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.

NO BAKE GRANOLA BARS



No Bake Granola Bars image

Great quick and easy granola bar recipe that kids can make. Perfect to throw in lunches or in your purse for travel. You can also add 1/4 cup wheat germ without changing the consistency. Change up the dried fruit, nuts, and chocolate for different flavors. I generally keep the bars in the refrigerator until I am ready to eat them, but these keep well to take to work or school.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 8m

Yield 24 bars, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/2 cups crispy rice cereal
2 cups quick-cooking rolled oats
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • In large bowl, combine cereal, rolled oats and raisins; set aside.
  • In small saucepan, combine brown sugar and corn syrup.
  • Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
  • Stir in peanut butter and vanilla; blend until smooth.
  • Pour over cereal mixture; mix well.
  • Press into ungreased 13"x 9" pan.
  • Cool; cut into 24 bars.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Use natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup instead of refined sugar, and opt for heart-healthy nuts and seeds over processed fillers.
  • Use a food processor: This will help you quickly and easily chop the oats, nuts, and seeds into a fine powder, which will give your granola balls a smooth and consistent texture.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the granola balls tough, so mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Chill the dough before shaping: This will help the granola balls hold their shape better.
  • Experiment with different flavors: Add dried fruits, spices, or extracts to the granola ball mixture to create different flavor combinations.

Conclusion:

No-bake granola balls are a delicious, healthy, and portable snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. With a little creativity, you can create granola balls that are both nutritious and delicious. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack, give no-bake granola balls a try!
