    Cashew, Cranberry & White Chocolate Granola Bites

    Jump to Recipe

    These easy granola bites are a perfect real food snack combo of cashew butter, granola, cranberries and white chocolate together in an easy-to-eat size.

    Granola bites are one of my family's favorite real-food snacks. I like that they are easy to make, use up the last spoonful of granola when I'm making a new batch (for some reason I never want to put the new granola in with the old - is that just me?), and make a perfect afternoon snack with my regular cup of tea.

    The rest of my family just likes how they taste - and that they're easy to grab-and-go. For years I've made a version of this recipe using peanut butter or sometimes almond butter.

    When I received a jar of cashew butter from Woodstock for my breakfast recipes during Hot Breakfast Month, I fell in love with this nut butter. It's just the perfect mildness to blend with so many flavors without overtaking them.

    I just knew it would make a great granola bite, so I paired my leftover granola with cranberries (these are sweetened with apple juice!) and white chocolate chips (I like Trader Joe's brand), added just a touch of Maple Valley pure maple syrup, and coated the bites with finely chopped cashews.

    The result? Definitely a winner - a new favorite version of our go-to granola bite snack!

    I'll still make the peanut butter-chocolate chip version when I don't have cashew butter, but I just recently found some more on sale so I'm happy that these will be making another appearance soon (because you can guess they didn't last for long…).

    Cashew, Cranberry & White Chocolate Granola Bites

    A perfect real food snack combo of cashew butter, granola, cranberries and white chocolate together in an easy-to-eat size.
    Prep Time15 minutes mins
    Total Time15 minutes mins
    Course: Snacks
    Cuisine: American
    Yield: 20 bites
    Author: Jami Boys

    Ingredients

    • 3/4 cup granola
    • 1/2 cup cashew butter
    • 1/3 cup dried cranberries
    • 1/4 cup white chocolate chips optional
    • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
    • 1/4 cup finely chopped cashews for coating

    Instructions

    • Mix granola, cashew butter, cranberries, white chocolate chips (if using) and maple syrup in a medium size bowl until thoroughly combined. (you can refrigerate the mixture at this point if it seems too sticky, but I usually don't)
    • Use a small cookie scoop (about 1 tablespoon size) to make the round bites and dip each into the chopped nuts, coating completely.
    • Store in an air-tight container in the fridge.

    Notes

    Storage: the bites will keep in the fridge for up to a month, if they last that long. They are fine a few hours unrefrigerated to take to school, meetings, or sports events but should be refrigerated for longer storage.

      Hi. Need help, pls? I give Plasma Twice a week (2-3 days apart) and would appreciate some Recipes that are full of Protein...I'm running out of ways to flavor Chicken Breasts. Any suggestion on snack items would be appreciated, too. Thank you and may Our Loving Heavenly Father continue Blessing you. ✝️.

      I don't want a banana flavor in mine. What can you suggest? Would applesauce work? Other ideas??

        Sorry, I'm confused Sandra - banana? You'll find nothing on my site with bananas, since I think they are evil. 😉 Were you meaning a different recipe somewhere?
