Very Berry Granola Bites Recipes

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat, parchment paper or foil and spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
• Put the chocolate in a heat-safe glass bowl and set over a pot filled with an inch of water. Place the pot over medium-low heat and gently cook the chocolate, stirring occasionally, until melted. Add the sea salt.
• Mix the granola, graham cereal and toffee bits in a shallow dish.
• Using two forks, dip the marshmallow rounds in the melted chocolate, letting excess chocolate drip off. Roll in the granola mixture, then transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate on the baking sheet until the chocolate is set, 10 to 15 minutes. Store in an airtight container if not using immediately.

Steps:

• In ungreased 8-inch square (2-quart) glass baking dish, place blueberries, raspberries and lemon juice. Microwave uncovered on High 4 to 6 minutes, stirring once, until thawed.
• In small bowl, mix sugar and cornstarch. Pour sugar mixture over berries; stir to coat berries. Microwave berries uncovered on High 10 to 12 minutes or until fruit is bubbling all over and mixture is thickened.
• In medium bowl, mix cereal and cinnamon. Stir in butter until well mixed. Sprinkle over berries. Serve warm or at room temperature with ice cream.

Steps:

• Reconstitute any of the fruit that is not moist and tender by placing it in a bowl and covering it with warm water. Depending on how dry it is, this could take up to 15 minutes. Drain off the excess water and pat dry with a paper towel.
• Put the almonds in a food processor and process until small pieces form, but before it becomes a paste. Pulse as needed. Add the blueberries, cherries, dates, and flaxseed meal. Pulse until the mixture pulls away from the sides, about 1 minute. If it doesn't, add 1 tablespoon water and process until it does, adding another tablespoon of water if needed. Sprinkle a plate with the coconut and using a 1-tablespoon scoop, portion the mixture into balls, about 24, and drop onto the coconut. Roll in the coconut. Store in an airtight container with any excess coconut in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. In ungreased 8-inch square (2-quart) glass baking dish, mix frozen berries, sugar and flour until fruit is coated.
• Bake uncovered 20 minutes. Stir fruit mixture. Sprinkle with granola.
• Bake 15 to 20 minutes longer or until light golden brown and bubbly. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with ice cream.

Steps:

• Line a work surface or baking sheet with parchment or wax paper.
• Pulse dates, almonds, maple syrup, vanilla and salt in a food processor until the mixture forms big sticky clumps. You want chunks of nuts left. Pulse in cherries, oats and sunflower seeds, scraping the bowl occasionally, until the mixture forms a shaggy mass around the blade.
• Put the coconut in a shallow dish. Use a 1-ounce (1 1/2-tablespoon) cookie scoop or a heaping tablespoon to scoop the mixture into about 24 mounds and place on the parchment paper. Roll the scoops into balls.
• Roll each ball in the coconut to coat completely, then transfer to an airtight container. Sprinkle any leftover coconut over the balls. Refrigerate until ready to eat.

Steps:

• Layer 1/4 cup strawberries, 1/4 cup blueberries, 1/3 container yogurt, 1/3 tablespoon wheat germ, 1/3 of the sliced banana, and about 2 tablespoons of granola in a large bowl. Continue to build the parfait, repeating the layers until all of the ingredients are used completely.
