Roasting the seeds, nuts and coconut |
Here adaptation of the Protein Bars as I have had lots of questions about them. We love them and they are so simple, healthy and yummy when you need a quick snack. They are a great easy snack before working out or on a run. Ok honestly, the only down side of these bars is sometimes getting them out of the pan, but if they fall apart they are still like yummy cookie chunks! Be warned your house will smell like cookies after baking these.
