IMG_2926_edited-1

I love trying new recipes. Ben loves granola so when I saw these bars on pinterest - I knew I was going to make them soon! These are healthy and not too sweet.

I used dried cranberries and dried blueberries for the dried fruits.  I also used slivered almonds.

I'm just discovering pinterest these days too, and it seems so entertaining. . . but like something I could get lost in for hours! These bars look like they'd be a nice breakfast treat. Do they keep well?
