I love bars, healthy ones that is, with lots of seeds and nuts in them and not too much sugar. I was on the hunt for a healthy gluten free bar. Since going gluten and dairy free recently, its been interesting trying to make meals, well, still fun to eat.
I found this recipe on a site called: elanaspantry.com
