This power bar is a delicious mix of almond, apricot, raisin, sesame, and oats bound with rich dark maple syrup. In this recipe, maple is replacing corn syrup, rice syrup, or honey, and acting as a sweetener and binder. Maple has a low glycemic index making it a better sweetener compared to the other options. These chewy bars definitely fill you up and give you the energy you need for your next hike, bike ride, or whatever activity you're doing!
