Healthy Homemade Granola Bars
I have been searching for the perfect healthy granola bar. It needs to be high in protein and low in sugar-these granola bars are difficult to find, at least at an affordable price. I realized that the perfect granola bar is a homemade granola bar.
So I turned to my favorite recipe site, The Minimalist Baker, for guidance. I found their simple 5 ingredient granola bars. I made a few changes to my fit taste but original recipe can be found here: Minimalist Baker
