Hey there, It’s been a while. For the past couple months work has gotten the best of me but I’m back.
This recipe, Blueberry Almond Granola Bars, was something I found myself making every other week. Often my lunch consists of whiffing down a few bites in between care plan meetings ( working as Registered Dietitain at long term care facility). Eating lunch at 2:30 is not really gonna cut it. It’s simple to make, packed with fiber, and naturally sweetened with honey.
The thing about granola bars are that they can be easily customized. For the blueberries I purchased them already dried and ready to go. If you have more time to prepare you can certainly dry them yourself. For added flavor there is hint of vanilla.
It’s really hard to mess this recipe up. The hardest part was cutting. Either I need better utensils or cutting skills, regardless these bars taste delicious.
