These peanut butter protein granola bars are super soft and packed with nutritious ingredients! They remind me of those chewy granola bars we used to eat as a kid (or maybe you still do!) but with a little softer texture. They're vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, refined sugar free, and absolutely delicious!
