Here’s a granola bar recipe with coconut, honey, walnuts, hazelnuts, raisins and cranberries. Either taking some power up while hiking or have a good comfort snack after intensive efforts, it’s still delicious!
But no need to be into sports to really appreciate these granola bars for breakfast or afternoon breaks. So yes, you can easily understand what motivation really pushed me to make it.
