No Bake Sunflower-Flax Bites

The title of The Big Book of Gluten-Free Recipes: More Than 500 Easy Gluten-Free Recipes for Healthy and Flavorful Meals doesn’t lie: it is over 500 pages long and jam-packed with recipes.It covers everything  from breakfast to dessert, to sauces and more, and from omnivore meals to vegetarian and vegan friendly recipes.

I adapted a no bake bar recipe using sunflower butter instead of peanut butter, so Alistaire could enjoy them. Simple to make, even Walker can help me. The author offers up other suggestions, swapping in any favorite nut or seed butter, adding dried fruit/berries or nuts for the chocolate.

Delicious bars, but do remember they are very high in fiber…so yeah, don’t over indulge 😉
