Highly addictive granola balls


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
  • 1/4 honey
  • 1 cup 5-grain cereal (or substitute old fashioned oats)
  • 1/4 cup slivered almonds, crushed
  • 1/4 cup finely shredded unsweetened coconut (not pictured)
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (not pictured)
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  In a small saucepan, combine the peanut butter and honey.  Slowly heat over low until the peanut butter and honey are somewhat melty.
  2. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the cereal, almonds, coconut, and cranberries.
  3. Use a rubber spatula to spoon all of the peanut butter mixture on top of the dry mixture.  Use your hands to combine the dry and wet ingredients.  Warning:  this is very sticky!!  Continue to mix until it is well combined and the mixture is sticking together.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and cinnamon.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (for easy clean up).  Roll your mixture into small balls, dip them into the butter and cinnamon mixture, and place on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven.
