I have been holding onto the following recipe from Food & Wine for over 2 years now. I figured it was time to give them a go! These bars are nutrient packed but be mindful of the serving size ( because of calorie & fat content). They are in line calorically with most granola bars but the biggest benefit here is that you are not getting all the preservatives and processed sugars as you do in store bought brands; not to mention these bars are way more cost effective. I could not find brown rice syrup anywhere (even at Whole Foods! Ugh!) so I substituted all natural maple syrup which I’m sure changed the recipe some. Next time I plan to use brown rice syrup per the recipe ; I just need to order it online. Still they were quite tasty! Healthy, gingery and nutty goodness!
