There are so many fantastic food bloggers out there. One food blog I regularly check is Cookin’ Canuck. Dara makes the most appealing looking recipes and her photos are always stunning. She has also cooked her way healthy and has a wonderful post about her journey. Dara has a great recipe for Low Fat Granola Bars with Bananas, Dried Cranberries, and Pecans that I just had to try. I switched it ever so slightly, but you can find the original recipe here.
Ingredients:
- 3 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 3/4 cup pecan pieces
- 3 ripe bananas
- 2/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 tablespoons honey (to make vegan, substitute agave nectar)
- 3/4 cup dried berries (I used Trader Joe’s Golden Berry Blend)
- 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 3 tbsp whole flax seeds
- 1/2 tsp salt
