When life gives you lemons… turn them into something heavenly.

These gluten free Lemon Heavenly Hunks make the perfect, healthy sweet treat! You could stop at your local Costco or Target– but, they are so simple to make at home! Plus, you get to control the flavor and quality of ingredients! I prefer to add cashews, protein powder, and chia seeds for more protein and fiber. Plus, these bars are filled with other wholesome ingredients like old-fashioned oats, honey, and coconut oil. Snacks should help to fuel your day, not weigh you down.

‍If you’ve never heard of Heavenly Hunks- they are basically soft, sweet, hunks of granola. Chewy and gluten free– they are perfect for busy mornings, mid-day slumps, or even on-the-go fuel. And the best part, they are quick and super simple to make at home! This version combines nutty wholegrain oats and cashews with sweet and tangy lemon flavor.

What are Heavenly Hunks?

According to the website, “Heavenly Hunks are chewy cookies baked in a uniform square shape to ensure chewiness and flavor—- they’re made to taste good and be good for you.” I would describe them as soft, square, delicious hunks of granola bars. They are gluten free, vegan, and non-GMO.
