Categories     Breakfast

Time 45m

Yield 10 1/2 cup servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups instant oats (see note)
1/4 cup flax seed meal (almond meal could work too!)
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2 egg whites
1/2-2/3 cup maple syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup raisins

Steps:

  • NOTE: If you only have rolled oats, you can make them instant by pulsing them in a food processor or blender until coarsely chopped.
  • Pre-heat oven to 325ºF. Place a rack in the middle of the oven. Line a 12" x 17" metal cookie sheet with parchment. Not recommended for glass bakeware.
  • In a large bowl, mix together instant oats, flax meal, chopped nuts, salt and spices.
  • In a small bowl, stir together egg whites, maple syrup and extract. The raisins will be added after the granola has baked. **We prefer a less sweet granola, so 1/2 cup of maple syrup is just sweet enough. You can go up to 2/3 cup of maple syrup if you prefer a slightly sweeter granola.
  • Add the egg white mix to the oat/nut/spices and stir until well combined and all the oats have been coated. Place the mixture onto the parchment lined baking sheet in an even layer.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes stirring at least once mid bake. Remove when the granola is toasty brown.
  • When the granola is done, remove the pan to cooling rack. Let the granola completely cool on the pan. When cooled, mix in the raisins. Store in an airtight container.
  • The granola will continue to harden and intensify in flavor over the next 8 hours. Don't worry that the granola doesn't taste too sweet or crunchy right out of the oven or immediately after cooling.
  • HINT: If you find your raisins are on the hard side, you can give them a perk by soaking them in very hot water for a quick minute or two. Pat them dry before using in the granola.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your mini bites. Look for plump, juicy raisins, and make sure your oats and nuts are fresh and free of rancidity.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the mini bites tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the mini bites hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the mini bites until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a slightly crispy exterior.
  • Let the mini bites cool completely before enjoying. This will allow them to firm up and develop their full flavor.
  • Store the mini bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the mini bites for up to 2 months. To freeze, place the mini bites in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze for 1 hour. Once frozen, transfer the mini bites to an airtight container.

Conclusion:

These raisin granola mini bites are a delicious and healthy snack that are perfect for on-the-go. They are made with simple, wholesome ingredients and are packed with flavor. You can customize the mini bites to your liking by adding different nuts, seeds, or dried fruits. The mini bites are also a great way to use up leftover oats and granola.
