Description
This bar is filling and full of energy. It contains 100% whole grains, two kinds of seeds, applesauce, grated carrots, molasses and honey. It has lots of protein, is chewy, moist and very satisfying. Cinnamon and ginger help it taste sweet, and the honey preserves its freshness. It can be a side dish or part of a very tasty breakfast.
