I just break them into little bites for him. Healthy snack for Mom and baby is a win, win! Plus, these bars are loaded with nutritious ingredients like carrots, oats, and coconut.

The following recipe is adapted from the leanbeangreen.com

Ingredients

·  2 cups roasted carrots

·  1 egg

·  3/4 cup milk (I used 1%)

·  1/4 cup maple syrup

·  2 cups rolled oats

·  1 tsp baking soda

·  1 tsp cinnamon

·  1 tsp vanilla extract

·  ¼ tsp nutmeg
