I’m going to take a wild guess that\u00a0you’re one of the hundreds (ok, thousands) of moms who love\u00a0Made Good Granola Minis<\/a>\u00a0and Made Good Granola Bars<\/a>. What’s there not to love?<\/p>\n

Made Good has\u00a0done a good<\/del> great job solving snack problems for parents\u2014it’s free of allergens (dairy, nut, peanut, egg, sesame-free, etc.), school-friendly, and healthier than most packaged snacks. The hidden serving of vegetables is a bonus, especially for parents with “picky eaters”.<\/p>\n

That’s why I’m a little giddy about this homemade alternative\u2014my successful attempt at a Made Good Granola Minis Recipe (Chocolate Banana flavour). <\/strong>Otherwise known as the “Poor Mom’s” version or “wannabes”.<\/p>\n

I don’t keep many packaged treats around because 90% of the time we keep things simple with snacks: essentially mini-meals with lots of whole foods.<\/p>\n

The other 10% of the time we will keep things even simpler and I’ll invest in pre-packaged snacks. That’s when Made Good Granola Minis<\/a>\u00a0make it into my cart and my girls start gushing over those bite-sized granola balls.<\/p>\n

I’ve always been a big saver except when it comes to food. With all the organic, local, grass-fed, farmer’s market products on my list, grocery bills get expensive. So, I’m trying to streamline spending a bit and cut back on the non-necessities.<\/p>\n

At about $5\u00a0a box, Made Good Granola Bars<\/a>\u00a0and Minis had to go.<\/p>\n

As\u00a0they came off my shopping list, I started to envision\u00a0a homemade replacement and the recipe experimentation started this weekend<\/a>.<\/p>\n

My girls were the guinea pigs and I recorded their reaction live after their first bite of my\u00a0“Poor Moms” Made Good Granola Minis<\/strong>\u00a0recipe<\/strong>. Thankfully my eldest uttered the words “I like it mommy” (completely unsolicited and in her underwear) as I aired live in my private Facebook Group for Moms<\/a>. You can watch it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This\u00a0homemade Made Good Granola Bites<\/em> recipe is not an exact replica, but it’s close enough. In fact, I’d say it’s better! Softer and easier to chew with less added sugar (just 1 tablespoon of honey in 30+ minis). Oh and cheaper too!<\/p>\n
