Delicious Blueberry oat granola bites! Perfect snack bites or breakfast on the go! Full of fiber, natural sugars, gluten free, and rich in antioxidants with the addition of dried berries!
This month’s flavor was hard to choose. I wanted to go all American for the the 4th, but it’s also my birthday month (let’s just say I’m past 30 now), so I wanted to incorporate some kind of cake or dessert.
That’s when I remembered my good friend Nicole had an amazing gluten free Granola Company with assortment of my favorite flavors, as well as paleo and vegan options.
I emailed her, we chatted, then we came up with a BRILLIANT conclusion to this month’s flavor.
Okay, so let me just get to the recipe and flavor! You’re gonna want to make this ASAP!
PrintGluten Free Blueberry Oat Cobbler Granola Bites
- Total Time: 10 minutes
- Yield: 26 1x
Description
Gluten Free Blueberry Oat Cobbler Granola Bites
Ingredients
- 1 Cup gluten free blueberry granola (if you don’t have this granola, then use ¾ cup GF granola or muesli and â…“ cup dried blueberries).
- ½ cup Vanilla Protein of Choice (Vanilla Pea Protein or Casein Free Grass Fed Whey)
- ½ cup coconut flour
- 1 tbsp Cinnamon
- 1 tsp butter extract
- ½ tsp cherry or berry extract (I used cherry vanilla from NuNaturals. Helps bring out the berry flavor)
- â…“ cup almond, sunflower, or cashew butter
- â…“ cup honey
- Optional – ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Directions:
- In a large bowl, mix your dry ingredients. Add in your nut butter and honey and extracts being the last . Mix well ( I use my hands) and roll into bite size balls. Coat bites with extra vanilla protein/cinnamon. I usually coat them after they have set in freezer for at least 5-10 minutes. Then return to freezer after. You can grind your granola before hand if you’d like, or keep it crunchy and leave it as is.
- Makes anywhere between 26-28 balls. Just depends how big or small you roll them. Mine are usually around 18grams
- Freeze or keep in refrigerator to maintain freshness.
- Prep Time: 10 min
TA-DA!!

Growing up, my mom always made dirt cake on the 4th for our neighborhood cookout.

And I seem to remember someone posting a gluten free version a while back…
