Recipe Notes

Make-ahead & Freezing instructions: The bars stay fresh at room temperature for up to 7 days. The bars freeze well for up to 2 months.
The cookie butter can be substituted for almond butter or any nut butter of choice. The bars may not have the same chocolate chip cookie taste though.
For the sweetener, sugar-free maple syrup was used, but feel free to use honey or regular maple syrup.
For add-ins, try using different add-ins, like nuts or dried fruits (up to ⅔ cup in total). These granola bars are highly adaptable.
