Vanilla Almond Blueberry Bars

Submitted by anonymous

"This recipe came off of a box of Cascadian Farm Organic French Vanilla Almond Granola cereal. The original recipe obviously calls for that brand of granola cereal but you can use any kind of granola you like in this recipe! I think you could also probably use fresh fruit instead of frozen - I haven't tried that but I don't see why it wouldn't work!"

Love this!!! My sister introduced me to it! We swap out frozen blueberries for a bag of frozen mixed berries!
