Those look great! I will have to make a batch and see if my kids will eat them 🙂
Anything “no-bake” gets my attention. My husband and I would like it for sure.
Now if there was only a way to make this with raw honey! Wonder if I could use the dough hook in my mixer to combine everything. Will have to try and let you know.
These look delicious! I have always wanted to try a healthy granola recipe. Thanks for sharing!
This recipe sounds delicious; a must try. I love everything included in the nut base too!
I’ve been wanting to make gluten free granola bars. Thanks for sharing.
These sound really. I don’t have any particular need for dairy/gluten free myself, but I have a friend who does. I think I’ll recommend these to them.
I love a fast breakfast on the go, and making my own granola bars would be great!
I love that you can sub different sweeteners!
these look delicious. I have been looking for a healthy recipe for a treat to put in hubby’s lunch. thanks
Those look good. I’m not much of a breakfast eater. I like to grab something and go. These would be perfect. Thanks.
