The best zucchini nut snack bars
I feel like my recipe creations this month have solidly circled around zucchini. As my stash is finally dwindling, this may be my last creation for you. These bars are fantastic for hurried mornings heading off to the office or the school bus. Also serve nicely as an after-school snack or dessert. It’s packed with plant based goodness especially fiber to help keep you filled! A tender not crunchy bar. No oils. No gluten. No refined sugars. I can’t wait for you to try these!
