Sometimes it is just to hot to turn the oven on and when that happens these no bake granola bars are the perfect snack to make.
With no added sugar, these granola bars are a healthier whole food alternative for everyone and no one will ever suspect that the sweetness comes from dates. They are delicious chilled from the refrigerator or room temperature.
In my family, we are forever grabbing snacks as we are running out the door for work or after school activities.
I make these granola bars often so we always have some on hand to grab for a fast snack.
