The above is the comment I received when I posted this recipe video on YouTube. This was a hit at my home also. Both my sons and my husband loved it. I was inspired to make this as I wanted to pack and send with my younger son when he is going for his university studies abroad. It's quick and easy snack, which he can have when he reaches there and for somedays fuel his body on-the-go. This recipe includes a variety of nuts, seeds, and fruits, along with a touch of peanut butter and a sprinkle of cinnamon. And the best part? These bars are super easy to make - no added sugar, no baking required and very less oil! So grab your apron and get ready to whip up a batch of these delicious energy bars. Trust me, your taste buds (and your body) will thank you!
