We love @tinycleankitchen creations, and this mouth watering recipe for Gingerbread Energy Bars is a great example of why... Classic gingerbread taste with some healthy modern twists, and so festive for taking to holiday gatherings.
Festive snacking isn't just for elves (or cookies). Although we think Santa wouldn't mind if someone left these out for him with a glass of milk on Christmas Eve! Snacking during the Holidays, believe it or not, can also be guilt-free and full of clean, healthy ingredients.
A little note from our friend and recipe creator, @tinycleankitchen:
These are super tasty & really easy to make, since I used Creation Nation's Vegan Energy Bite Mix for the base. I love their mixes because they’re low in sugar & totally customizable. They’ve been a great option for me over the years when I’m in the mood for a healthy treat that won’t spike my blood sugar.
