Oat & Almond Granola Bar
If you have been following along for a number of years and remember the days of Food Crush, you may recognize this recipe! For those who have no idea what I’m talking about, Food Crush was the original name of this blog when my friend, Kendall, and I started it back in 2016!
We had the best time dreaming up the blog during our dietetic internship and spending hours in her parents kitchen on the weekends. One of our favourite recipes we created was this Oat & Almond Granola Bar.
It was such a hit that we included it in our first (and only, so far) eBook. Now that I have transitioned to All Nutrition I felt it was out of pure necessity that I share this recipe with you again.
Packed full of nuts, seeds and oats, with warming flavours of vanilla, coconut and cinnamon, this nutritious snack is a show-stopper.
It keeps well in the freezer so make a batch (or two) and have it whenever you’re in need of a delicious snack!
