granola bars with chocolate drizzle on parchment paper

Naturally sweet, high in fiber, and full of flavor. The most delicious homemade snack!

I am loving these with some yogurt for a quick gran-and-go breakfast situation.

These bars are so easy and so delish! Whenever I make these for work friends or some sort of gathering, they are gone within minutes! These pack a lot of nutrients without a ton of sweeteners that you’ll often find in packaged snacks. The sweet potato adds a subtle sweetness, with an extra boost of vitamins. 

These are gluten free and vegan, and can be made nut free by just subbing a seed butter in place of the peanut butter! 

Enjoy! xx

    This is one of my favorites! It’s an oldie, but goodie! I make it on Sunday’s so that I have a quick snack that I can grab whenever I get hungry. I put a lot of chocolate chips in mine and I use a full sweet potato–I’ve never measured how much of either ingredient and they always turn out perfectly.

    Could I use an egg instead of flax? Thank you!
