I was not thrilled back in the day but hindsight I have to give it to my parents for picking the healthiest packages option out there.
Since I’m all about fulfilling childhood voids, in a healthy matter, I obviously had to do a leveled up remake.

No Bake Granola Bars
Who needs store-bought bars when you have homemade healthy granola bars? These no-bake bars are packed with fiber, organic ingredients and make for a great meal-prep snack. Easy, healthy and so delicious!
Ingredients
- 1.5 c Rolled Oats

- Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or spray fully.

Notes
These granola bars can be stored in an air-tight container in the freezer for up to a month. If stacking them, I recommend putting some parchment paper in between them to prevent them from sticking together.
Backroads Original Granola is organic, plant based, vegan friendly AND gluten free!
It cannot get any more allergy/health friendly than that while loaded with flavor and crunch.
