5-Ingredient Protein Bites with Gustola Granola

August 16, 2018 Leave a Comment

Gustola Granola has been a long-time favorite of Wilderness Inquiry. Whether you are on the trail or on the water, it is the perfect snack for any activity. Made with simple yet nutritious ingredients, it is the perfect blend of quality and flavor. Along with a great local story we love creating new ways to enjoy this snack on trail or at home. 

In the search for a healthy and filling snack for her four children, founder Angie Gustafson began experimenting with high-quality ingredients in her kitchen to find the perfect ingredients. Upon refining her recipe, she was encouraged by friends and family to expand her offerings which turned into a business. The name, Gustola Granola, was inspired by the word gusto, meaning to give pleasure or joy to something. Five years later, it is now available around Minnesota and online. You will enjoy Gustola Granola on all Wilderness Inquiry extended trips and can find this tasty snack at over 200 hundred retail locations in the metro area.

During some recent adventures on trail Wilderness Inquiry staff experimented some new ways to enjoy one of our favorite treats. By adding a few ingredients from our camp kitchen, we created a quick Granola Bite that is perfect to pack along for a paddle or hike. It’s quick, easy and you don’t even need a camp stove!

See below for an easy and delicious recipe you can try at home or on the trail.

Five-Ingredient Granola Bites

2 cups Gustola Granola (extra for rolling)

1 cup crunchy Peanut Butter

1 Tablespoon Flax Seeds

1 Tablespoon Honey

¼ Cup Chocolate Chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pour all ingredients into a large mixing bowl and mix with clean hands.
  2. Take a small handful (about the size of a golf ball) and roll it between your hands into a round shape. If needed, you may use more granola for rolling.
  3. Continue for the rest of the mixture.
  4. Let stand in fridge (or cool outdoor area) for 30 minutes
  5. Enjoy!

Makes 15 servings.
