CHOCOLATE CHIP GRANOLA BARS

Hi there!

Hope this post finds you happy and healthy. With maybe a bit of sunshine peeking through your windows!

Today I am sharing a recipe with you.

My HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE CHIP GRANOLA BARS

Man did I used to devour those Quaker Chewy granola bars in high school.

Quick, easy food that wasn't very nutrient dense and just spiked my sugar making me crash an hour later; wanting another and then repeating the cycle. Ooof.

I don't eat stuff like this much anymore (savory over sweet kind of girl) but every once an awhile a hankering for something nostolgic floods in and I have to find a way ro recrate it. Keith actually has the sweet tooth in our house. But, he's off grains currently so these were all mine. Which means I know these freeze really well. 😉

I also added some collagen to help stablilize that blood sugar spike a bit more.
