homemade granola bars

Life at Simple Acres brings busyness at times as a mom. Soccer games, travel, farm life and soon to be back to school schedule keeps us on our toes. I have been needing a quick snack that’s not only balanced but healthy and delicious for my family. My homemade granola bars are full of simple ingredients that will be helpful in your family’s busy moments. 

My kids love to eat the remains of this yummy mixture right out of the bowl. Your kids will love these as well, I’m sure of it!
