GRANOLA PEANUT BUTTER BALLS

I have a chef friend, Nancy Russman in Louisville Kentucky, who spends a lot of her time teaching kids to cook and eat healthier snacks. When she first met me and my son there at a Julia Child birthday party I was cooking for, she made a big impression on him, much bigger than Julia! Probably because she's very short, and closer to his size than Julia. She taught him the cheer of "Go Cats!" in support of the Louisville Wildcats. We also had a nice tour of the Louisville Slugger Baseball Bat Factory, a visit to a bourbon distillery for another Julia party and a visit to my favorite goat cheese maker, Judy Schad, in nearby Greenville Indiana. This is one of Nancy's kid-friendly recipes that the kids can help make.

Tips:

  • Oats: Use old-fashioned rolled oats for the best texture. Quick oats will make the granola balls too soft, and steel-cut oats will be too chewy.
  • Peanut Butter: Creamy peanut butter is best for this recipe. If you use crunchy peanut butter, the granola balls will be too dry.
  • Honey: Honey is the best sweetener for this recipe because it helps to bind the ingredients together. If you use another sweetener, such as sugar or maple syrup, the granola balls may not hold their shape as well.
  • Chia Seeds: Chia seeds add a boost of nutrition and help to bind the ingredients together. If you don't have chia seeds, you can substitute ground flaxseed.
  • Vanilla Extract: Vanilla extract adds a touch of flavor to the granola balls. If you don't have vanilla extract, you can substitute almond extract or another flavoring of your choice.
  • Mini Chocolate Chips: Mini chocolate chips are optional, but they add a delicious touch of sweetness and crunch. If you don't have mini chocolate chips, you can use chopped nuts or dried fruit instead.
  • Chilling: Chilling the granola balls before coating them in chocolate helps them to hold their shape better.

Conclusion:

These maple peanut butter granola balls are a delicious and healthy snack that is perfect for on-the-go. They are made with simple ingredients and are easy to make. Plus, they are packed with protein, fiber, and healthy fats that will keep you feeling full and satisfied.
