Healthy Chocolate Agave Nut Bars Recipe

This recipe is perfect for nut lovers and health nuts! I came up with this no-bake recipe after searching for a healthy bar for my diabetic husband. Agave nectar is the ingredient used to sweeten these bars, it's a great alternative to honey or sugar as it's low on the glycemic index, i.e. it won't give spikes in glucose levels like regular sugar (at least it doesn't for my husband). Ingredients 1/2 Cup quick oats 1/2 Cup Grape Nuts cereal 1/3 Cup cocoa powder 1/2 Cup almond meal 1/4 Cup ground flax seed 1/4 Cup Peanut Butter 1/2 Cup Agave Nectar 3/4 Cup chopped pecans Directions Mix quick oats, Grape Nuts cereal, cocoa powder, almond meal and ground flax seed in medium size bowl. Add in peanut butter & Agave Nectar and stir until blended thoroughly. Add chopped pecans. Press mixture into 8x8 pan. Chill and cut into 2 inch squares to serve.
