1/4 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup peanut butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups rolled oats*
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
2-3 Tablespoons sprinkles (optional)
1.) In a saucepan heat the coconut oil, honey, and peanut butter until melted and creamy. Stir in the vanilla. Pour over the oats in a large bowl. Stir until thoroughly coated. Let cool for 10-15 minutes.
2.) Stir in the mini chocolate chips and sprinkles. Take Tablespoons of oats in your hand and press very firmly until it forms a ball shape. Set on a piece of wax paper and let set. Makes 20 granola bites. Store in a sealed container on your counter
notes:
*This recipe has been changed slightly because so many people were having trouble forming the round granola bites. I think removing some oats will help with this issue.
**You can also press the mixture firmly into a greased 8x8 pan, then cut into 20 even squares. From there you can either eat them square or press into the ball shape.
