Something wonderful and amazing happened to me this past month… I started baking. In the past, I avoided baking like the plague. I was already not comfortable cooking in the kitchen (which I only did as a necessity for keeping my family alive), so baking seemed like a nuisance more than a must-have. But two of my goals this year were 1. to focus on my health \/ diet and 2. to become more confident in the kitchen. So baking was a natural fit. After I scoured the internet for recipes (thank you Pinterst) and getting some amazing recipe recommendations from my followers, I put myself to the test and just sort of went for it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Here’s the thing about baking if a you are a newbie like me. It’s all about preparation. Once you have the right gear and ingredients, the rest is super easy. For example, this recipe calls for a mixer and without that, you can’t make this granola bar (although I’m working on an alternative – stay tuned). You will also need almond butter and old fashion oats, which most people (if you’re like me) don’t necessarily already have at home. I promise you this, once you get your items organized, making the recipe is the easy part. Not to mention, the finished product is totally worth it.<\/p>\n

This granola bar is my absolute favourite and doesn’t compare to anything that you can buy that is already pre-made. It tastes sweet and delicious and it’s actually healthy. The original recipe is from the Minimalist Baker, but I’ve made some modifications to the recipe. It’s so good that I make it weekly, sometimes even twice a week. The bars are so filling and yummy I often eat them as my meal for breakfast. Of course they make a great snack option too!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
So without further delay, here’s my go-to recipe for these granola bars<\/p>\n
