raw energy bars

We love raw energy bars/cookies.

Our son is going through a growth marathon. These seem to satisfy him and are so easy to make. There are so many wonderful recipes on the web to search.

The one on the right is from Oh She Glows. There are so many wonderful recipes on this site.

  1. we made the pumpkin cookies today and dehydrated them at 105 for 8 hours. They are so much better, similar to a cookie with a crisp outside and soft inside.
