Vegan Granola Bars with Blueberry & Lemon
A flavour combination that reminds us of springtime when the weather finally starts to warm up, these delicious vegan granola bars with blueberry and lemon are perfect for breakfast, elevenses or with an afternoon cuppa. Make a batch on a Sunday afternoon and you’ve got your breakfast ready for the whole week. We love the way the blueberries burst once cooked, making sure these granola bars stay moist rather than drying out, giving a lovely flavour and texture you’re sure to love. Give these a go and you’ll never buy packaged granola bars again.
