Granola, peanut butter, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, cranberries.. could you ask for anything more? I just wish I had discovered this recipe in the fall! This was very, very simple. Mix it all up, put it in muffin tins and bake!
The recipe makes 12 - which is the perfect size for me, as I am just cooking for myself (husband doesn't like cranberries!) It is the perfect blend of sweet (use REAL maple syrup) and tangy with the bits of cranberry. The peanut butter isn't very strong and I like it that way. Now, the tops get nice and crunchy but the underside/middle is my favourite part! It is soft and chewy - very much like a cookie.
These are a tiny bit higher on the calories than I would like - but 1 is very filling, and paired with some yogurt or fruit on the side would make a great mid-afternoon snack. They are nice and low in sodium, and give you a good amount of protein and a little bit of fiber (see below)
