Looking for a healthy and tasty snack idea? These bars are great for people on the go, holding you over until lunch or dinner time, pre/post-workout snack, or avoid indulging in high calorie desserts after dinner!

Give them a tr!! It may take a few batches to get it them to taste exactly how you like them, but it’s worth it TRUST ME!

Michelle’s Baking Tip: I bake them for 23-25 minutes so they stay more soft and “brownie-like”. Let them cool in the pan before cutting them into 12 squares and put them in the fridge or freezer so they don’t go bad. These have no preservatives so they will spoil easier 😉

Other options for add-ins:
– Ground Flax Seed
– Chia Seeds
– Dried Cranberries/Raisins
– Dark Chocolate Chips (within moderation!)
– Cinnamon

GET CREATIVE & LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU COME UP WITH!

Play around with the ingredients by adding other healthy ingredients or taking things out to find a taste and consistency that works for you.

For a great healthy “dessert” idea, try warming up a square in the microwave then topping with a little bit of natural peanut butter or putting on top some greek yogurt or my healthy ice cream recipes 😉
