Photo: Granola Peanut Butter Balls Recipe
I have a chef friend, Nancy Russman in Louisville Kentucky, who spends a lot of her time teaching kids to cook and eat healthier snacks. When she first met me and my son there at a Julia Child birthday party I was cooking for, she made a big impression on him, much bigger than Julia! Probably because she's very short, and closer to his size than Julia. She taught him the cheer of "Go Cats!" in support of the Louisville Wildcats. We also had a nice tour of the Louisville Slugger Baseball Bat Factory, a visit to a bourbon distillery for another Julia party and a visit to my favorite goat cheese maker, Judy Schad, in nearby Greenville Indiana. This is one of Nancy's kid-friendly recipes that the kids can help make.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 4 tablespoons peanut butter
- 2 cups granola
- 2 to 4 tablespoons milk, or as needed
Directions
In a large bowl, mix together the honey and peanut butter. Using a spatula, stir in the granola. Add enough milk to just moisten--you want it to stick together. Form into balls. Chill until ready to serve.

These were very good.. I let my granola balls sit in the refridgerator for approximately 20 minutes before I tried them.. I eat them for breakfast and they keep me energized all morning!

I love the concept. The taste is great (especially with chocolate delight granola but , like alot of other reviewers, I just couldn't get them to stick together that well. What helped a little bit was adding more peanut butter and using a cookie scoop to make the balls but they still tend to want to fall apart. Maybe next time I'll try suggestions from the other reviewers and see if I get better results.
