Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Rolled oats
• 0.5 cup Almond butter
• 0.25 cup Maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseeds
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 0.25 cup Mini dairy-free chocolate chips
• 0.25 cup Dried cranberries
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, ground flaxseeds, shredded coconut, mini dairy-free chocolate chips, and dried cranberries.

Step 2

In a small saucepan over low heat, add the almond butter and maple syrup. Stir until the mixture is warmed and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the almond butter mixture over the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl.

Step 5

Using a wooden spatula, mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated and the dry ingredients are coated with the wet mixture.

Step 6

Cover the mixture and refrigerate for about 30 minutes. This will make the mixture easier to handle.

Step 7

Once chilled, using a small cookie scoop or your hands, form small 1-inch balls of the mixture and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 8

Place the granola bites back in the refrigerator for at least an hour to set.

Step 9

Store the granola bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.
