Breakfast Bars

These are healthy enough for breakfast and also tasty enough to have when you want something sweet or an afternoon pick me up. These are great to have to hand to stop you snacking on something unhealthy. They are super easy to make as well and Isabelle loves them. She even likes the mixture before it is baked in the oven. They are nutritious too. There are full of fibre and vitamins and minerals from the wholegrain musli, and the bananas are a good source of potassium, magnesium, vitamin C, fibre and manganese. Almond butter is high in calories, but it is rich in vitamin E, calcium, omega-3 fatty acids and plant steroids. It is also a good source of protein. I also like these with an apple for some crunch and freshness.
