Choco-Granola Bites

Sprinkle some of our Original granola into a baking dish (enough to cover the bottom). In a separate dish, melt coconut oil, a dash of honey, a pinch of salt, and a few handfuls of chocolate chips (dark or milk) and stir together to drizzle on top of the granola. Cool it in the fridge for healthy chocolate-covered granola bites, perfect for sharing! 

Peanut Butter Power Balls

Mix our classic Crunchy Monkey granola with peanut butter, honey, and a pinch of cinnamon. Roll them into bite-sized balls and refrigerate. These energy-packed goodies are a hit for pre-or post-workout snacking.

Smores Granola Bars 

Our Mocha granola is made for a recipe like this! Toss the granola into a bowl, mix with crushed graham crackers, a bit of butter, a dash of molasses, and enough honey to make it stick together, and form into bars sprinkled with mini marshmallows for a campfire experience right at home.
