Chocolate Banana Granola Bars
Every day when I pick up Julian from daycare he asks me the same question, “Do you have a treat?” I don’t know if he can possibly be hungry (the food made on site at our daycare is so good I’m jealous when I read the menu) or if he just looks forward to our little ritual. I don’t always have a homemade something or other tucked in my handbag but when I do, he really notices the difference. “Mmm, how did you make this?” The kid knows how to butter me up, what can I say?
Well, on the day I showed up with these let’s just say I was pretty popular. I was looking to add to my snack recipe roster and came across this recipe on The First Mess, a beee-yoo-tiful healthy food blog you must really check out. I was pretty faithful to the recipe as it was written and it was so up my alley. Most store-bought granola bars are packed with sugar and oil and while these are definitely a treat, they’re so good you don’t need a huge piece to feel satisfied. Chocolate and bananas are long-time friends so it’s a stroke of genius to put them together in a bar. I ended up with a lot of extra drizzle so I’ve cut the recipe in half here but if you want more chocolatiness, go to town! Let me know if you give these a try – we love hearing from you!!
