Parents and children alike love granola bars because they’re as nourishing as they are delicious. But did you also know they’re easy to make?
There is no baking required in this recipe, and it’s so simple that the kids can help, too. Try raisins or dried banana chips for the chocolate chips. If your child has a peanut allergy, almond butter is a fine substitute — and it will taste just as good.
