    I’ve been buying these little bags of granola bites for a few months now, spending about $4-$5 per bag. A bag that I can easily eat within a few days.

    I finally smartened up and realized I could just make these suckers at home for a fraction of the cost.

    Now I can whip these treats up in five minutes, pop them in the oven and have some delicious, healthy treats ready to go, all under 30 minutes.

    This recipe is

    • Healthy
    • Quick and easy
    • Oil free
    • Only five ingredients
    • Vegan

    Ingredients

    This recipe can't get any easier. It only has five, easy to find ingredients.

    • Oats
    • Maple syrup
    • Peanut butter
    • Flaxseeds
    • Chocolate chips

    Recipe tips

    • The peanut butter can be a little tricky to mix in with everything, so I found that using my hands was the best way to get them combined well. Using my hands to mix is my favorite part about this recipe.

    • When looking for a vegan brand of chocolate chips, make sure to read the ingredients. Most have milk in them but some are accidentally vegan. A brand called Enjoy life are always vegan and Kirkland chocolate chips are accidentally vegan. These are nice because you can buy them in bulk and always have them on hand.

    • If you don’t have a skillet or small baking dish to make these in, just double or triple up the recipe so that you have enough granola to fit in your baking pan of choice.

    • Make sure the granola is thick enough and packed in so that the bites aren’t too thin. Also let them cool completely before cutting them into bites or bars, they will stick together a lot better.

    How to serve

    I absolutely love eating these with my morning coffee. They go perfectly together. Eating a little something with my coffee helps my stomach as well. I never do well drinking coffee on an empty stomach.

    These granola bites are also a great, kid friendly snack to pack in you kid’s lunch.

    Let me know in the comments below how you liked these sweet little granola bites. They’re my new favorite snack. Sharing is caring, so send this to a friend you think would enjoy these as well.

    How to store

    This granola can be stored in an air tight container like a mason jar, for up to a week.
