You basically combine your favorite ingredients from a granola bar, and voila, granola bar bites.

How to make Granola Bar Bites?
First you’ll combine all your ingredients in a medium to large sized bowl. Stir everything together until it is mixed well. Add in a little more honey or peanut butter if the mixture is to dry. Add in a little more oats if it’s too wet. Put the mixture in the fridge to chill for about 30 minutes, to make it a little less sticky to work with.
Remove the mixture from the fridge and roll it into balls, about 1 to 1.5 TBS in size each. You can spray your hands with nonstick spray, or wash them a few times throughout with cold water to keep the mixture from sticking too much. Place the bites on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Then put the pan back in the fridge to chill and let the balls set.
How to Store Granola Bar Bites?
Store them in the fridge in an airtight container or ziplock bag for up to 1 week. Just pop one, or two, or three, out when you need a snack.
You can also store them in the freezer for up to 3 months.
These granola bar bites are the perfect bite sized snack. They’re little balls of goodness, that are perfect for keeping on hand when you need a delicious burst of energy!

These bites are delicious! My 1.5 year old son gobbled them up. I used 1/4 cup of shredded carrot instead of coconut, we’re going through a veggie strike at the moment…but he never knew the difference! Also left out the chocolate chips for now, but they still came together perfectly. Thank you for sharing! I can tell I’ll be making these regularly.
Aimee Berrett says
What a great idea! I’m so glad that your son liked them! I’ll have to try them with carrots next time!
Farrah says
Hello, I am really wanting to make these, but I’m wondering about the oats. If we are not cooking them then arnt they raw? Are raw oats okay to eat? Thanks!
Aimee Berrett says
I believe raw oats are safe to eat. I found this… http://www.livestrong.com/article/412378-is-eating-uncooked-oatmeal-healthy/

Hello! I just made these for my family of 6, but with a twist! I doubled the recipe and used sunbutter because we have a kid with a nut allergy. I wanted to make this a little easier and less messy to prep and eat, so after doing a little research, I ended up putting the doubled batch in an 8×12 baking dish lined with parchnment paper and baked them at 300 degrees for 25-30 minutes (until golden brown at edges). After they cooled for a bit, I cut them in rectangles (think granola bar) and placed them in the fridge to cool completely. They were a little crumbly, but my kiddos loved them with a nice glass of milk!

Any idea the carb/caloroie/sugar/protein per ball Information? I have type 1 diabetes and am wanting to try these out as a healthy snack ?
Chelsea says
Thanks for the recipe! I just made it and it is DELICIOUS. I took some artistic license (I was trying to clean out the pantry and use up things before they go bad) and used flavored instant oatmeal packets, crushed nuts, and dried fruit. And I used almond butter instead of peanut butter, and agave nectar instead of honey.
Kristi says
Made these tonight really good! I put them on my cookies sheet and then cut them in bars.
Kellie Jo says
Does it matter if it regular or quick oats?
Aimee Berrett says
I think either will work just fine!
Tenley says
i too added flax, as well as cinnamon and swapped in craisins for raisins! They turned out great, i did need a lil extra peanut butter to help them not be too dry with the flax added
Chrissy says
Anyone know about how many bites this recipe makes?
Aimee Berrett says
Chrissy I don’t remember the exact amount and it will depend how big you make the bites, but I would guess about 15-18 at the size I made them!
Memorie says
Hello!! These look great and so easy to make 🙂 Are the coconut flakes sweetened or not? In the picture, they do not look sweetened, but wanted to make sure before I made them.
Aimee Berrett says
I usually buy sweetened coconut flakes, but I think this would be good with either!
Memorie says
Thanks Aimee! I will be making these this week and I will let you know what my daughter thinks 🙂
Gayle says
I would use the unsweetened for the less calorie, less sugar part. If you’re nor worried about that go crazy and use the sweetened. Yum, Yum!
Laura says
These look yummy!
My daughter wanted to make some like this but was using ground flax seed also. I was at work when she decided to do this so she called to ask if we had any flax. I explained when it was in the pantry (why am I the only one who can find things – it is organized i promise) and went on with my day. A few hours later I got a call from my daughter saying she thinks there was something wrong with the flax seed because the snack balls had a very strong spice flavor. After asking her some questions (because this made no sense) I realized she had used mustard seed instead, and 1/2 a cup at that! I was laughing so hard the receptionist came to me office to make sure I was alright! My daughter felt to terrible and felt like she had just wasted all those ingredients. I reassured her that this is the way we learn sometimes and that she should just trash it all and start over. We laugh about this every time the word mustard is used.
Aimee Berrett says
Oh my goodness, Laura! That is hilarious! I am glad we can all learn from our own cooking mistakes and that’s how we get better. I’m sure those mustard granola bites weren’t very good!! Haha!
