Granola Bites
Ingrediente
- 1 ¼ cupe Ovăz rulat de modă veche - (nota 1)
- ½ ceaşcă Unt de arahide - (nota 2)
- ⅓ ceaşcă Sirop de arțar - (nota 3)
- 1 lingură Chia Seminte - (nota 4)

Opțional

Instrucțiuni
- Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C). Line 2 mini-muffin pan with mini paper liners. Slightly oil each paper liner. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, add peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla if used. Stir until smooth.
- Add in rolled oats, chia seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, chocolate chips, and salt.
- Stir to form a thick and sticky batter.
- Use a cookie dough scoop or tablespoon to scoop out and pack some of the batter – packing matters if you want the bites to stick together in the oven.
- Release the mixture in each muffin paper liner – I made 21 of them.
- Bake the bites in the oven for 15 minutes at 350 °F (180 °C) until golden brown on top.
- Remove the pan from the oven and cool down in the pan without touching the bites – they firm up as they cool down.

- Ovăz rulat de modă veche – These provide the base and fiber. Quick oats are fine too. Pick a certified gluten-free brand if needed.
- Unt de arahide – This binds the ingredients and adds protein and flavor. Almond butter, cashew butter, tahini, or sunflower seed butter are fine too.
- Sirop de arțar – It sweetens and binds the bites. Agave syrup or coconut nectar also work. You can also use sugar-free maple-flavored syrup if you want to lower the sugar.
- Chia Seminte – These add fiber and nutrients. Flaxseeds, sesame seeds, or hemp seeds also work.
- Sunflower and Pumpkin Seeds – They add crunch and nutrients. Any small seeds or finely chopped nuts also work.

How to Make Crunchy Granola Bites
Această rețetă este foarte ușor de preparat. Iată cum se face în imagini.

When the batter is mixed, use a cookie scoop to transfer it to a mini-muffin baking pan.

Bake the bites for 15 minutes at 350 °F (180 °C).
Sfaturile lui Carine
Let me share a few more tips for perfect bites.
- Tehnica de ambalare – Pack the batter tightly into the muffin liners to ensure the bites hold together.
- Timp răcire – Allow the bites to cool completely in the pan to firm up.
- Opțiuni de stocare – Store in an airtight container at room temperature or freeze for longer storage.
- Variația texturii – For a chewier bite, press the mixture firmly into the mini muffin liners.
- Schimb de ciocolată – Swap the chocolate chips for dried fruits like dried cranberries, or more nuts and seeds to keep in low sugar.
- Size of Swaps – Make sure when you swap an ingredient like seeds or chocolate chips to pick something of the same size, especially not bigger, or the batter will be fragile and won’t stick together as nicely. For example, sunflower seeds can be swapped for sesame seeds or hemp seeds but definitely not whole almonds. You’d need to chop them into small pieces first.
- Regular Pan – If you don’t have a mini-muffin pan, bake them in a regular muffin pan and press the tablespoon of batter flat.







These are delicious. I will only be making these granola cookies from now on. Can I make them without using a muffin liner?
That’s lovely! They might stick to the pan without the liners.
Have you tried Baking these without confining them in muffin tin cups? Will they spread out too much if just scooped onto a baking sheet?
I haven’t tried, the muffin tin definitely make them ultra crunchy on the sides.
Can I substitute peanut butter with ground flaxseed?
Absolutely not, they are both different ingredient. The peanut butter is sticky and bind everything together while adding fat and moisture. You can swap it for any nut butter or seed butter like almond butter, sunflower seed butter, tahini etc.
These were delicious! My grandchildren also approved the recipe. I did a mix of rolled and quick oats and added some raisins and slightly reduced the chocolate chips. Everything else I kept the same. I really liked that they were baked and crispy compared to other no bake recipes that I have tried. Thank you for a tasty snack!
I have also made and enjoyed several recipes from your Sweet as Honey blog. Your keto cream cheese waffles and strawberry muffins are my favorites so far! Thanks again!
I am looking forward to checking out your kids’ craft blog soon.
