Granola Peanut butter balls

2 Tbs. honey

4 Tbs. peanut butter

2 cups granola

2 to 4 Tbs. milk, or as needed

In a large bowl, mix together honey and peanut butter. Using a spatula, stir in the granola. Add enough milk to just moisten - you want it to stick together. Wet hands and form into balls. Store in the fridge.

Granola

4 cups rolled oats

1/2 cup sesame seeds

1/2 cup pecans, chopped

1/2 cup walnuts, chopped

1 cup almonds, chopped

1/2 cup shredded coconut

1 cup wheat germ

1/2 cup oil (canola or coconut)

1/2 cup honey

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Mix all ingredients together. Spread on large baking sheet. Bake about 1 1/2 hrs stirring occasionally. 

Bran Muffins

2 cups whole wheat flour

1 1/2 cups wheat bran

handful of oats

1 Tbs. ground flax seed (optional)

1 Tbs whole flax seed (optional)

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp baking soda

1/4 cup oil (canola is what I use most often, but coconut is good - must be melted first)

1/2 cup sweetener, generous (I use honey and maple syrup, about half and half)

1/2 cup applesauce (I buy the 6 packs of 4-oz containers for this use)

1 egg beaten

2 cups milk (I use unsweetened Silk)

Preheat oven to 325 and spray muffin tin with cooking spray. Mix dry ingredients. Mix wet ingredients in separate bowl. Add wet to dry and stir enough to mix. Spoon into muffin tin (I usually fill 12 almost to the rim). Bake 30 min.
