Tasty Treat Thursday

By Summer:

If you’re looking for something “alternative” to snack on because of New Year’s resolution, then try these granola cups. Not just good for a snack, you can add them to breakfast too. OR be a hero and make a batch for your workout buddies in exercise class.

Granola Cups Snack Time Recipe

Ingredients:

½ cup butter, unsalted
½ cup honey
1½ cups rolled oatmeal
1½ cups puffed rice
1 Tablespoon sesame seeds
1 Tablespoon hemp seeds

1 teaspoon ground flaxseed
½ cup raisins
¼ cup pecans

Directions:

1. Melt together butter and honey in a small pan on the stove top.

2. In the meantime, crush the pecans. In a large bowl, mix together all remaining ingredients. Once the butter and honey have melted pour them into the mix and stir until mix is coated.

3. Spoon into 12 paper lined cupcake cups. Press down firmly and chill overnight. (Great for a protein breakfast!)
