Notes
*Feel free to use any type of nut or seed butter you like. For example: peanut butter, cashew butter, sunflower butter. ;)
Store breakfast bars in an airtight container for 1 week. Keep out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources, which could keep the bars from being as fresh for as long as possible.
