Seeds and apple bars (gluten free + recipe)

Hello steemit world!

I have something for you:)

I made today some delicious apple granola bars which will be my breakfast for the next days. Inspiration for them was the post form @emilyl . They contains everything what we need in the morning. Proteins and carbs, good fats and some nice spices which are also very healthy👍😍 On the top I melted vegan nougat chocolate and decorated it with dried Physalis fruits, hazelnuts and billberries. The bars taste exactly how they look. Wish you a great evening!
