Gluten-Free Chewy Granola Bar Recipe
I wanted to share one of my family’s favorite granola bar recipes that we have been digging recently. This recipe is really nice because it only has a handful of simple, healthy ingredients, is dairy free and can even be made gluten free! And the kicker? Its’s oh-so-chewy too…my favorite kind of granola bar!
I also like to add cacao nibs or Enjoy Life mini chocolate chips on top, just a sprinkling for a touch of chocolate that doesn’t overpower. But you can omit those if you desire. And if you cut them up into long skinny bars they really look just like the kind you buy in the grocery store….but with waaaay better ingredients for you, can I get a high five?
