Hello guys!
Does anybody here makes their own cereal bars?
I love them! but some of the comercial ones are way to sugary and processed, I want to try and make some cause I like how handy they are some times when I'm on the go.
Any recipes you recomend me?
Thanks in advance!

**you can sub maple syrup for honey for a different taste. walnuts/pecans for almonds. almond extract for vanilla.0 -
I made my own for a few weeks, but I don't think you can really make a healthy muesli bar, despite their healthy reputation. There's just too much sugar required to stick everything together into a bar. You may be best trying out savoury crackers and cookies/biscuits.0
