Chocolate Chip Sweet Potato Granola Bars are a healthy and delicious snack made easy with only 5 REAL ingredients! Also gluten-free and vegan!
Do you remember those quaker chewy granola bars (my main inspiration for these sweet potato granola bars)?
I’m pretty sure you do unless you’ve been living under a rock for several years. Throwback to middle school when I used to eat at least 2-3 per day. My Mom would get a giant box of 90 from Costco so we were always stocked up with them. They used to be my go-to snack -now these chocolate chip sweet potato granola bars are my go-to.
I remember how incredibly chewy and sweet these little bars were and perfectly studded with baby chocolate chips ensuring that you got chocolate in every bite. Flash forward to 10 years later, and I haven’t had a chewy granola bar in FOREVER!
I was seriously craving one so bad the other day that I had to give in and make my own healthier version. This is how these Chocolate Chip Sweet Potato Granola Bars were born.
