Kristin’s Granola Balls

Kristin's Granola Balls WM

It’s full-on spring sport season around here. Lacrosse and track keep the older three Littles running full steam ahead and me running in circles! Snacks are of the essence and these easy, no bake granola balls are our go-to favorite.

Perfect pick-me-ups in carpool or on the way to the field for practice, these healthy bites of energy keep us all in good spirits for the busy days of spring.

In totally un-related news {except that I won’t be in carpool today!}, I’m going to be on Living Inspired Radio this afternoon. I’m honored to be a guest of my friend Tricia Goyer and would love for you to tune in at 3:00 CST. We’ll be dishing up conversations about food & faith, specifically Sabbath and 52 Sunday Suppers. I’m pinching myself that Tricia will also interview Dr. Matthew Sleeth today. Dr. Sleeth is the author of 24/6 which I read in January just after I declared 2013 my year of Sabbath.

You can join us at 3:00 CST today at Living Inspired Radio.

These healthy no bake granola balls are easy to make and quick to disappear! Easily made gluten and dairy-free by using Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-Free Oatmeal and Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips.

  • Author: Kristin Schell
  • Category: healthy snacks

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted, dry roasted peanuts
  • ½ cup agave nectar
  • ½ cup walnuts or cashews (either one works well)
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 2 TBS ground flaxseed
  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats*
  • ¼ cup of chocolate chips or raisins*

Instructions

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a food processor, grind peanuts with the ‘s’ blade until finely chopped, but not buttery. Add the agave nectar, nuts, vanilla, salt and ground flaxseed. Process until all the ingredients are well combined. The consistency will still be a little chunky.
  3. Add the oats and pulse until thoroughly mixed. You may have to scrape the sides of the processor a few times as the ‘dough’ will be very thick.
  4. Pour the dough into a bowl and with your hands mix in the chocolate chips or raisins.
  5. Wet your hands with a little water to prevent the dough from sticking, pinch off pieces of the dough and roll into bite size balls. Place granola balls on the parchment lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  6. Makes approximately 20 bite size granola balls that will keep in the refrigerator for several days, if they last that long.
  7. *Easily made gluten and dairy free by using Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-Free Old Fashioned Oats and Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips.

Meet Kristin

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here.

I'm on a mission to love my neighbors. I put an ordinary picnic table in my front yard, painted it turquoise and invited neighbors, friends, and even strangers to hang out and do life together at the Turquoise Table®.

I hope you'll join us!
