Ingredients

• 1 cup keto granola homemade or store-bought
• ½ cup creamy or crunchy peanut butter
• ½ cup collagen protein powder (or whey or egg white protein powder)
• ¼ cup allulose "honey" See Notes for alternatives
• 3 ounces sugar free chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon butter
• Flaky sea salt optional

Instructions

• In a food processor or a blender, process the granola until it resembles coarse crumbs.
• Transfer to a large bowl and add the peanut butter, protein powder, and sweetener. Use a silicone spatula to really work the ingredients in until the mixture clumps together. If it's too dry, add a little water to help it bind together.
• Divide the mixture between 30 mini silicone muffin cups (or 16 large muffin cups), pressing down into the cups to even it out. Refrigerate 1 hour to firm up.
• In a medium microwave safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and butter. Heat on high in 30 second increments, stirring in between, until smooth. (Alternatively, you can heat them on low in a small saucepan).
• Drizzle over the top of the chilled cups and sprinkle with sea salt, if desired. Return to the fridge for 30 minutes until firm.

Notes

This recipe makes 30 mini cups or 15 larger ones. 

Storage information: Store the bites in a covered container in the fridge for up to 10 days. 

SWEETENER OPTIONS

You don’t have to use a liquid allulose sweetener for these granola bites. But I do recommend something that won’t make the mixture gritty. So aim for a powdered sweetener or a concentrated liquid sweetener like stevia extract.

Because the liquid allulose adds moisture to the mixture, you will need to add a little water. Start with 3 tablespoons and work up from there.
