If you've followed our tarradiddle for any instance, you mate that BL doesn't bee-line for everything. He's specially wary of anytime I use course and kinda thriving in the duplicate condemn.

Thankfully, they are also simplified to put together. If you've e'er made any charitable of bar before, you can kind these. Mingle the oats, flour, maple syrup, coco oil, almond butter and spices together to egest a dough.
