Ingredients

1 ¼ cups Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats (note 1)
½ cup Peanut Butter (note 2)
⅓ cup Maple Syrup (note 3)
1 tablespoon Chia Seeds (note 4)
2 tablespoons Sunflower Seeds (note 5)
¼ cup Pumpkin Seeds (note 6)
⅓ cup Chocolate Chips (note 7)

Optional

1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
⅛ teaspoon Salt if peanut butter unsalted

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

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.

Notes

Note 1: You can also use quick oats, they will firm up better with quick oats as well. Use gluten-free certified oats if needed.

Note 2: You can also use almond butter or cashew butter. For a nut-free option, you can use either tahini or sunflower seed butter.

Note 3: Or any liquid sweeteners like agave syrup or coconut nectar.

Note 4: Or other small seeds like flaxseeds, sesame seeds, or hemp seeds.

Note 5 and Note 6: Any small seeds or finely chopped nuts can be used like sesame seeds, finely chopped pecans, almonds, or walnuts.

Note 7: Or dried raisins, dried cranberries.

Storage: Store the granola bites in an airtight box in the pantry for up to 2 weeks or freeze up to 1 month in Ziploc bags. Thaw the day before at room temperature.
