Healthy berry cake bars

Happy FriYAY Hope you all having a nice week. It’s almost weeee kend… A lot of my friends and family requested I make granola bars again so I decided to chance it up and make something a little different than your ordinary granola bars. These bars I made today are super easy to make and it’s with berries so no nuts, oats for this recipe. I used agave nectar for sweetness but you can use coconut sugar, brown sugar, molasses if you prefer . I used bittersweet dark choco bar but you

can use cocoa as well if you don’t have chocolate. I put blueberries and raspberries for toppings  but you can use any other

berries of your choice. I hope you like this recipe!


Well, let’s get started with the recipe!
