Vegan Cinnamon Bars
This vegan cinnamon bar recipe is so easy, and produces an excellent breakfast, snack, or dessert. They're fairly nutritious too, loaded with flaxseed and whole wheat flour. These bars are dense and hold together very well. They're sweet, but not too sweet, and they're packed with cinnamon. #cinnamonbars #veganbars #breakfastbars #dessertbars #snackbars #easyveganbars
