I’ve always been a strong believer that everything is better homemade! Take these Soft n’ Chewy Chocolate Granola bars for example.
They’re everything you expect in a granola bar: soft and chewy, yet sturdy enough to hold together, a satisfying snack and a great pick-me-up! They’re also vegan, gluten-free, scrumptious and incredibly healthy for you, containing super foods like raw cacao, oats, peanut butter, cacao nibs, coconut oil and chia seeds.
Did I mention how easy they are to make?! All it takes is mixing the ingredients together, pressing them into a pan, 30 minutes of chill time and voilà! You’ve got yourself some seriously delicious snacking to do!
