I just got your cookbook and can’t wait to give it a try. One thing that I can’t find here and am interested in trying to make are baked granola bars or something like it. The ones I have tried here are too sweet! My son loves Zbars (the kids version of clif bars) and we need something that he can take to school or have when we are on the go. Any suggestions (or perhaps and idea for a future recipe of the week? Thanks for all the great recipes!
