sugar-free delicious date bars recipe
My 18 month old daughter is really into bars as snacks and while there are some great healthy options out there, I wanted to make my own. Laila really enjoyed the dates we bought recently and likes oatmeal, so I thought I’d try this classic Betty Crocker recipe. I added my own addition of walnuts and also substituted agave for brown sugar, cut the butter in half with greek yogurt instead, used all organic ingredients and broiled the pan at the end for a crispier top…I was happy to make them sugar free and healthy so the whole family can enjoy them too, especially as a healthy sweet treat around the holidays 🙂
Let me know if you try them out and enjoy!
