Honey Almond Bars

An easy and healthy gluten free Honey Almond Bar recipe that will kerb sugary cravings and keep you and the kids full longer.

No need to buy expensive almond bars anymore! These Honey Almond Bars are easy to make, and are great for breakfasts on the go, or a quick snack to satisfy those after school hunger cravings.

These bars store well in the fridge for 2 weeks, and can even be frozen for up to 3 months! PLUS they are gluten free, so perfect for kids with gluten intolerances.

I try to make these Honey Almond Bars in bulk so that I always have some in the freezer – they’re such a great go-to snack as they keep me and the kids full for hours, and better still, I know they are packed with lots of good nutrients.
