CHOCOLATE COCONUT GRANOLA BITES



Chocolate Coconut Granola Bites image

These four-ingredient bites are so awesome. They're a little crunchy after the chocolate has hardened a bit. The making of them can get a little messy, but it only means you get to lick the chocolate from your fingers constantly and nobody is there to stop you.

Provided by Bev Weidner

Categories     dessert

Time 35m

Yield 12 to 15 bites

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups chocolate chips (use whatever kind you want)
2 cups plain granola
1/3 cup flax seeds
2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut, lightly toasted

Steps:

  • Place the chocolate chips in a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over (but not in) a small saucepan with about an inch of simmering water and melt over medium heat, stirring constantly.
  • Remove from the heat and add the granola and flax seeds and stir to combine. Stick the bowl in the freezer to cool and harden the mixture a little bit, about 6 minutes. This makes it easier to roll the mixture into little balls.
  • Arrange the coconut on a large baking sheet. Using your hands or an ice cream scoop, scoop out a small amount of the chocolate-granola mixture and roll it around in the coconut, making little balls. Little bites. Little ball bites. Repeat with the remaining chocolate-granola mixture and coconut.
  • Place the tray back in the freezer to harden, at least 5 minutes. Store the bites in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days.

Nonstick cooking spray, for greasing the baking sheet
1 pound semisweet chocolate chips or coarsely chopped bars
1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt, such as Light Grey Celtic
8 ounces your favorite store-bought granola

GRANOLA BITES



Granola Bites image

These chewy-crunchy, salty-sweet breakfast balls are great for eating on the go because they don't crumble and leave a mess. They take minutes to blend and a few more to roll, but if you make them a friends-and-family cooking project, the process can go even faster. Feel free to experiment here. You can swap out the almonds for cashews, the cherries for other dried fruits, and the sunflower seeds for shelled pumpkin seeds. Just keep the dates and make sure they're Medjool, which are softer and more thin-skinned than other varieties. The dates are the glue that hold the other ingredients together.

Time 20m

Yield About 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 packed cup/205 grams pitted, stemmed Medjool dates
1 cup/140 grams roasted, salted almonds
1/4 cup/60 milliliters maple syrup
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup/75 grams dried cherries
1/2 cup/45 grams old-fashioned oats
1/2 cup/70 grams raw shelled sunflower seeds
1/3 cup/35 grams unsweetened finely shredded coconut

Steps:

  • Line a work surface or baking sheet with parchment or wax paper.
  • Pulse dates, almonds, maple syrup, vanilla and salt in a food processor until the mixture forms big sticky clumps. You want chunks of nuts left. Pulse in cherries, oats and sunflower seeds, scraping the bowl occasionally, until the mixture forms a shaggy mass around the blade.
  • Put the coconut in a shallow dish. Use a 1-ounce (1 1/2-tablespoon) cookie scoop or a heaping tablespoon to scoop the mixture into about 24 mounds and place on the parchment paper. Roll the scoops into balls.
  • Roll each ball in the coconut to coat completely, then transfer to an airtight container. Sprinkle any leftover coconut over the balls. Refrigerate until ready to eat.

GRANOLA BITES



Granola Bites image

A quick easy breakfast or snack that the kids love! Packed with protein and full of antioxidant-rich dried fruit and healthy nuts and seeds, these bites will be sure to please. I didn't follow the directions, of course, but ground up all the almonds and oats. It still came out great! I also ran out of rolled oats, so added oat bran. I think next time I'll also grind the sunflower seeds. Use any combination of dried fruits - any will be great! I also did not roll the balls in the almond/oat mixture, but just included it in the ball mix.
