Whether you’re cooking to feed yourself or a friend who's a new parent, these soft and chewy granola bars are quick to make and packed with nutrition. They’re an ideal, energy-boosting snack to bridge between mealtimes for nursing moms.
Tip: Brewer’s yeast is different than nutritional yeast and can be found with the natural baking products in many grocery stores.
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF.
- Spray a 9”x13” pan with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients. Make a well in the center and add all of the wet ingredients. Mix together well.
- Press mix evenly into prepared pan and bake until firm and just starting to brown at the edges (30 minutes).
- Allow to cool until just set (5 minutes). Divide pan into 16 bars and place on a wire rack to cool.
Chef's Practical Notes
