Autumn Survival Comfort Bars Recipe

The original name for this recipe was "survival bars", which originated in the fact that my partner used to make them for me during stressful, time-crunch periods in university. However, the name is a little misleading as there are many super calorie-nutrient rich bars out there also called survival bars. While fairly healthful, these highly flavourful bars offer a different kind of comfort! They are a splendid mix of a granola bar and muffin. We often dip them into fruit yogurt in the morning. They also freeze well.

Note: this photo is of a carrot variety, but the end result looks quite similar with nuts and dried fruit instead of carrots.
