The beautiful thing about these bars is their versatility. You can customize them to your own tastes or needs. Add other fruits (cranberries, apricots, figs, etc.) or seeds (pumpkin, sunflower, chia). Or you could even use almond butter in place of or in addition to any of the ingredients.
On top of that, they freeze great. You can make a bunch and have breakfast ready all week long, or a delicious and nutritious snack while you’re traveling. Giddy up!
