I bring you this week the quickest recipe in the history of The History of the Cauldron Blog Posts !!
Its been a busy week here celebrating The Cauldron Apprentice Apprentice first birthday and you will have found me in the kitchen creating a Smash Cake , and Birthday Cake in the way we do in The Cauldron
So these bars have been very much needed to keep my energy levels up and stop me eating all the left over frosting 🙈🙈
I promised a quick bake this week and you generally get on the blog what we are enjoying eating …. so seeing I’ve no granola bars written online it was time to rectify the matter before I sign off for 4 weeks blog break and at last a holiday away , abeit in the same country. But a break is a break
Some straight forward directions no pics needed and an even quicker photo shoot ….
But there is no lacking in taste or bake this are the bees knees of granola bars , the date syrup takes then to the next level ( in my opinion )
So lets crack on
recipe
Nutty Granola Bars GF, DF V
A delicious convenient chewy granola bars....packed with the good stuff

So there you go, easy peasy lemon squeezy ( but no lemons ) 😜😜
I promise a non nut version in the future but fro this week this is what i ate 🙊
So a couple more pics , nothing special just granola bars doing their granola thing 🙃🙃
Its time to rest , regenerate , decide my direction for the coming months and not risk baking burn out , there’s be alot of content the last 18 months and only a couple of weeks off last October
I may only be small fry in the world of baking blogging and recipe development but it takes time and though and I must admit Im tired
