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:

  • Use quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the granola balls will taste. Use natural peanut butter, pure honey, and old-fashioned oats for the best results.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the granola balls tough. Mix the ingredients just until they come together.
  • Chill the dough before rolling: This will help the granola balls hold their shape better.
  • Roll the granola balls in your favorite toppings: Some popular options include chopped nuts, seeds, dried fruit, and coconut.
  • Store the granola balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks: You can also freeze the granola balls for up to 3 months.
