Granola and Peanut Butter Treats – Recipe
Since I have started to eat healthier, I have needed to find healthier snacks to eat instead of chips and chocolate. (While both of those things are great tasting, they don’t help lower your caloric intake.) One of the first snacks I decided to make was a simple granola and peanut butter recipe I found on Food Network. I’m going to modify the recipe a bit to include some added ingredients to make it even healthier. I don’t have exact nutrition facts but these treats are tasty and good for you. Digressing, here is that recipe:
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 4 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 cup granola
- 1/2 cup crushed oatmeal
- 1 scoop of protein mix (not needed if you don’t have it)
- 2 to 4 tablespoons milk, or as needed
1. Combine honey and peanut butter in a large mixing bowl. (Use a rubber spatula for easy mixing and clean up)
2. Add in granola, oatmeal, and protein mix. Continue to stir all of the ingredients together in the mixing bowl until thoroughly combined.
3. Measure 2 – 4 tablespoons of milk and work it into the mix. Add enough milk to aide in keeping the mixture together but not too much to make everything soggy.
4. Form mixture into balls or clumps and chill until serving.
This recipe yields 12 – 15 treats and takes about 10 minutes to make.
