Recipe Share: Almond Granola Squares
6:41 PM
Happy Saturday!
Here is a delicious little granola bar (or squares) recipe.
I don't know about you, but grocery store granola bars often tempt me. But 1. they are expensive and 2. they are loaded with sugar. We almost never buy them, but that isn't because we don't like them. It's just that we will gobble them all up. And generally, the nutritious content is little to none.
Our solution: make them at home where you get to control what goes in. These are quick, easy, and I bet you already have most if not all of the ingredients in your pantry.
Oh, and p.s. no baking necessary.
