These granola bars may not look like much but they are DELICIOUS and oh so simple to make. Give it a try, you and your family won't regret it.
I love using almond flour in baking as it gives everything a richer taste and texture.
These bars are loaded with nutrients and fibre. Eat them as a snack or get creative and crumble them on your morning bowl of plant based yogourt with fruits and seeds.
Quick Tip: Make sure to let them rest for 30 minutes after baking before cutting into them to avoid the bars from crumbling. The process of cooling down allow the bars to continue cooking outside the oven and helps them firm up.
