Zesty Orange Cranberry Bars
During the Holiday months, I always look forward to seasonal flavors or cinnamon, cranberry, orange, pumpkin, clove and more! These Zesty Orange Cranberry Bars are a great Fall breakfast or snack made with oats, almonds, cranberries, orange, almond butter and honey! These bars are easy to make, they require no cooking and the kids can even help. I recommend making a batch now, freezing and then bringing it out on Thanksgiving morning! When everyone is hungry yet Thanksgiving dinner is hours away… you’ll be grateful to have a delicious granola bar packed with seasonal flavor at the ready to eat!
Health Benefits of Ingredients
Almonds
Almonds are high in healthy monounsaturated fats, protein and important
nutrients such as manganese and Vitamin E. Almonds are also high in fiber, which helps you feel full longer!
Oats
Oats are a complex carbohydrate, which can help you feel full longer. Oats also contain protein, fiber and iron. Consuming plant-based sources of iron with vitamin C rich foods, such as the orange in this recipe, will help your body absorb the iron better. Your body needs iron to aid your cells in carrying oxygen throughout the body.
