How to Layer Your Mason Jar Snack Bites
Make your jars look Pinterest-worthy and practical with neat, mess-free layers. Here’s how:
-
Start with the oats – Always pour the oats in first to create a sturdy base.
-
Add powders and seeds – Layer in your flaxseed, cocoa powder (if using), and chia seeds next. These finer ingredients settle better when closer to the bottom.
-
Follow with flakes and cereal – Coconut flakes and Rice Krispies go next. These airy bits won’t get crushed this way.
-
Top it off with the mix-ins – Mini chocolate chips, raisins, or any other sticky or chunky ingredients go last for easy scooping.
💡 Pro tip: Use a stainless steel funnel to keep layers clean and crisp. It fits perfectly inside both regular and wide-mouth jars to make pouring a breeze!
Don't Forget to Seal It
To keep your snack jars fresh and pantry-ready, seal them up with the Mason Genie. It locks in freshness and keeps everything crisp until you're ready to mix and roll.
How to Make:
In a mixing bowl, combine:
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Pop the seal on your mason jar and add the contents. Stir until well combined. Roll into 1-inch balls (makes ~20). Store in the fridge.
Tip: use a high quality jar opener when opening your mason jars to keep your lids from denting (like our Universal Jar Opener) - that'll keep them endlessly reusable!
