Granola Bars - Let's eat 'em up!

Hi everyone! One goal I have for this blog is to share yummy treats that don't have added sugar. I have really struggled with containing my sugar intake (my husband calls me a sugar ant) and I decided about 6 months ago to stop eating treats. If you know me at all, you would be shocked! I will share a post later, on why I felt I had to do this, but that is for another day. :)

I love this recipe because I still feel like I am getting a dessert but I know it is much healthier than my "normal" treat. Yes, there are still sugars in this recipe, but for me, honey is approved!

I hope you enjoy!
