Granola Bites
Crunchy little snacks to have on the go! I love energy balls to keep at arms length to warn off hanger but sometimes raw ones just don’t hit the spot. These granola bites have a delicious toasty outer layer packed full of crunch and chewiness! They can be tricky to roll hence why letting the mix sit in the fridge is key, the coconut oil sets a little to make the mix nice and sticky. The bites are suitable for storing at room temperature and last 10 days in an airtight container.
