I’m always trying to come up with new, healthy snacks for my kids. Homemade. Made with love. Granola bars are a great snack to take on the go, but the ones you buy in the store, are full of sugar and completely unnecessary ingredients. I don’t know about you, but I like to know exactly what my kids are eating. Their tiny bellies need to be full of good, quality food. A happy, healthy child makes a mama happy too!
Kaden and I made a batch of peanut butter granola bars and this is what we came up with. They are oh so chewy! There is no added fat, except for the natural oil in the peanut butter. A little honey and brown sugar adds the perfect sweetness. I used walnuts this time around, but you most certainly could go with peanuts, almonds or sunflower seeds would be a crunchy addition too! When I asked if we should add mini chocolate chips, the answer was of course, “yes!” A little warning…when you give a toddler one of these peanut butter granola bars, you are going to end up with a sticky, chocolaty face!
