The struggle is real! So, in my efforts to find alternatives I found a great recipe in a BHG magazine, which I adapted it so it could be egg-free.
Thank goodness these Healthy Eggless Energy Bars were beloved by many taste-testers and judges, including my kids.
This recipe is simple and crazy delicious. Made with wholesome ingredients and then drizzled with dark chocolate for a delicious finale.
You’ll never go back to store-bought bars again!
