These are one of Abigail’s absolutely favorite foods. And as I once told a friend, I’m not sure I could make them any healthier if I tried! They’re a great way to get some leafy greens into littles without teeth.
If you’re serving them to a baby, omit salt and cut into finger-size pieces. If you’re making them for yourself, salt the batter to taste and cut into nine squares.
Superfood Bars
Notes
This recipe is not Paleo.
If making for an infant (as I usually do), omit salt. The bars will keep in a Ziploc in the fridge for a week.
If purchasing, be sure to get hemp hearts (shelled) and not whole hemp seeds. The hulls include low levels of THC.
This recipe was first posted erroneously omitting the beans.
