Imagine combining a chewy granola bar with a crispy marshmallow treat and trail mix, and you’ll have a sense of what these cookies are like. Packed full of nuts, fruit, cereal and flavor, the name Granola Cookie suits them perfectly. We thought Matt had coined a new term when he came up with Granookie, but …
Apples. Cider. Cinnamon. The featured flavors of this not-just-for-breakfast dish capture the essence of fall in Michigan, and each crunchy bite provides whole grains, protein, fiber, vitamins and antioxidants. Enjoy a bowl on a gorgeous fall day—or any other time you can get your hands on some fresh apple cider! Apple Cider Granola Makes about …
This is essentially a chunky version of my Chewy Peanut Butter Power Bites. With protein from multiple sources, these treats are great for a mid-morning snack or afternoon pick-me-up.

As for the rolled barley and rye, I first bought these in bulk last year to try expanding our whole grain options. Matt and I have had …
