Nutritional values

This granola bar recipe is a perfect pick-me-up when your energy levels are down. It contains oats, sugar, and nuts, which provide you with carbohydrates, fiber, fats, and protein. Even though it is a small snack, it will help to fill you up quickly. 

You can always substitute the sugar for coconut sugar and the flour for almond flour to have a slightly lower sugar content and higher fiber and nutrient content.
