Chewy, nutty, and full of all sorts of goodness, these Banana peanut butter granola bars are superb! My favourite part is they are healthy, simple, and great on the go.
I struggle to find a healthy wholesome granola bar that doesn’t break the bank! Considering I am the queen of snacks I insist on having bars handy at any given time. Especially with two kiddos who constantly snack. My kids love these Banana peanut butter granola bars for their nighttime snack. Of course, I am more than happy to give it to them because the ingredients are clean!
These bars check all the boxes on my snack list. First, they are free of processed sugars. Second, they are high in protein and fiber. Lastly, they are quick and easy to make. Not to mention they have vegan and gluten-free options for those that require that!
Furthermore these babies are NO BAKE. That is always music to my ears!
So, if you are looking for a way to fuel up in the morning, at snack time or before bed these are the perfect granola bar.
