Cranberry Chocolate Baked Granola Bars Variations
What happens if you don’t like cranberries or chocolate? I know, in the off chance that there is someone out there, you can change this up.
You simply swap those amounts out with something else.
Here’s the trick though, don’t make the substitutions too big. This means no whole almonds or dried apricots…I have to say it. Chop everything small so your bars don’t fall apart.
