Tips For Making This Recipe
Make Sure the Dates Are Not Dry
For perfectly chewy granola bar bites, use dates that are soft, sticky, and fresh. If they’re dry, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes, then drain them before use.
Make Bigger Bars
If you find bigger granola bars more satisfying than balls, press the granola mixture into a parchment-lined baking pan, cover it with another piece of parchment paper, and firmly press the mixture to the sides of the pan. Flatten and smoothen the top, chill for 1 hour, then slice into bars.
Allow to Chill
Don’t cut the chilling time for these tropical granola bites! Letting them set in the fridge for at least 1 hour will give them the best chewy texture and also keep them from falling apart.
No-Bake Healthy Granola Bites Recipe FAQs
What type of oat is best for granola bar bites?
Old-fashioned oats are best for chewy granola bar bites. We haven’t tried this recipe with other oats, so we can’t guarantee the consistency of the mixture with quick-cooking or steel-cut oats.
Can granola bites be gluten free?
Yes! Use certified gluten-free oats.
How to get granola bars to stick?
Chill your granola bar bites for at least 1 hour to ensure they firm up and stay intact.
How long do homemade granola bar bites stay good?
You can store these no-bake healthy granola bites in an airtight container in the fridge for 5 to 7 days.
Do granola balls need to be refrigerated?
Yes, so they can set. But for softer vegan granola bites, chill them for 1 hour to set, then store them at room temperature in an airtight container.
