Nut Free Granola Bars Recipe | SunButter and Chocolate Chips

Granola bars are not an easy snack to purchase for a child who has a nut allergy. My son is 5 years old and in those 4 years of his allergy existence, we have never found a granola bar label to be safe for nut allergies.

There are options for nut free granola bars options online, but when you are shopping in the store the added convenience would be nice to have a brand that can be purchased on a whim.

Homemade granola bars are the perfect way to enjoy this kind of snack without the risk of cross contamination.
