Grape Nuts Breakfast Bars

     I've still got breakfast on my mind - a quick and easy smackerel to have with my coffee as I commute to work. An hour after I get to work,  I usually have oatmeal or yogurt and fruit. Grape Nuts are pretty simple stuff. I like them sprinkled in my yogurt, too. When I found this breakfast bar recipe - I knew these were another little piece of my Clean Eating puzzle.
