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.
