Notes

I know I said most ingredients are flexible, but you are limited in the kind of oats you choose. Quick Cooking and Old Fashioned are interchangeable, but don't use Instant or Steel Cut Oats. Instant will give your Easy Granola Bites a mealy texture and the batter may not hold together as well. Steel Cut Oats are less processed and take quite a bit longer to cook. Delicious for breakfast, but not what you are looking for in Granola Bites!
