These granola bars are packed with lots of flavor and carbs for energy, my son’s swim team loved them and they make a great quick breakfast or after-soccer game snack too. You need only one pot, one pan and one spoon (plus measuring cups) to prepare them. I hope you’ll enjoy this delicious and nutritious breakfast and snack.
