Granola Bites<\/span><\/h1>\n

Prep: 25 minutes plus chilling
\nMakes: 36 bites<\/span><\/p>\n

\n2\t<\/span>tablespoons sliced almonds
\n\t<\/span>Nonstick cooking spray
\n1-3\/4<\/span>cups quick oats
\n2\/3 <\/span>cup finely chopped dried apples and\/or apricots
\n1\/3\t<\/span>cup dried blueberries, cherries and\/or cranberries
\n2\t<\/span>tablespoons roasted, salted sunflower seeds
\n2\t<\/span>tablespoons coconut flakes
\n1\/2 <\/span>teaspoon ground cinnamon
\n1\/2 <\/span>cup peanut or soynut butter
\n1\/4 <\/span>cup honey
\n1\/2 <\/span>teaspoon vanilla or almond extract\n<\/div>\n

1.<\/span>In small skillet, toast almonds over medium heat 4 to 5 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring frequently.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2.<\/span>Spray cookie sheet with nonstick cooking spray. In bowl of food processor with knife blade attached, process 1\/4 cup oats and almonds 15 seconds or to fine crumbs; transfer to medium bowl.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3.<\/span>In large bowl, combine dried fruits, sunflower seeds, coconut, cinnamon and remaining 1-1\/2 cups oats. Add peanut butter, honey and extract, and stir until well combined and mixture begins to stick together.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n
