How many weight watcher points for the breakfast bars
Betty, I do not do weight watchers, so I do not know.
i just cooked, love it!
Thank you for letting me know!
Thank you so much for the recipe. Tried them tonight and they look and smell amazing. I tried one but it tasted a bit bland (I did add a bit of coconut flakes and flax seed and only did three tbsps of honey. Any suggestions to make them taste a little sweeter?
