When it comes to kid’s snacks, they like simple things, so sometimes less is more, such as this chewy granola bar. The best part, they are packed with protein, fiber and are lightly sweetened with pure maple syrup.

This simple to make gluten-free snack is healthier than many available in supermarkets because you control the sugar and unwanted ingredients.
