Whether they are students, new parents, or friends with demanding jobs, you probably have a few loved ones who would appreciate the gift of healthy, homemade, energy-dense snacks that are easy to eat on the go. From a helpful step-by-step guide to making classic granola bars to a no-added-sugar, grain-free Larabar lookalike, these 6 recipes will have you well on your way to a big batch of high-energy snacks for gifting or for keeping on hand to fuel you through the season ahead.
Freezing will extend the shelf life of these bars, so after cutting them into portions and wrapping them individually in wax paper or parchment paper (optional), pack them into a freezer-safe container with a label. They'll be easy to grab on the go, and a whole lot fresher and tastier than their shelf-stable store-bought counterparts.
