Hash Mountains

Two sweet potatoes (I…

No Bake Granola Bars

From The Minimalist Baker, link provided below

I only had a quarter cup of almonds so I added 3/4 cup chopped dried apricots. 

I also used old fashioned quick cooking steel cut oats instead of rolled oats (they’re heartier in my opinion) the non gmo kind, of course

Link to the original recipe: http://minimalistbaker.com/healthy-5-ingredient-granola-bars/

Until next time
