“In a market as crowded, dynamic, and unregulated as health food and snacks, how do you know what’s really good?
Unfortunately . . . you don’t. Unless you follow it closely.
I received this awesome box of goodies above and have enjoyed everything. I especially love granola and have been snacking on the Healthy Grains from 
Blueberry Crumble Granola Bars
Equipment: 9x9 square baking dish. When preparing to cut the bars: You can even place the bars into the refrigerator to help them cool faster. After removing from the oven, I let the bars cool for about 20 minutes before placing them into the refrigerator. I left them in there for about an hour so cutting the bars would be easier.
Servings: 9
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter 1 stick; cut up into small pieces
- 1 egg
- about 1/4 teaspoon salt
- zest from one lemon
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- fresh lemon juice from 1/2 lemon
- about 2 cups fresh berries blueberries + blackberries
- 1/2 cup of your favorite granola
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9×9 inch square baking dish. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the sugar, flour, and baking powder. Mix in the salt and lemon zest. Using a pastry cutter, mix in the butter and egg. The dough should be crumbly. Press down half of the dough into the prepared pan.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the sugar, cornstarch and lemon juice. Gently fold in the berries. Pour the berry mixture evenly over the crust. Then, mix in the granola into the remaining crumbly dough. Crumble the remaining dough + granola over the blueberry/blackberry layer. It's ok if you have berries peeking out.
- Bake for about 45 minutes, or until the top is slightly golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool for about 20-30 minutes. Cool completely before cutting into squares.

Hello there Alice! Argh, I feel totally clueless about this ‘Rafflecopter’ thing but it asked me to answer a question, “What’s your favourite healthy snack?”. So I definitely have to answer by saying that I have two favourites – medjool dates (if I’m in the mood for something sweeter) or plain yoghurt mixed with my favourite granola. These Bestowed packs look amazing! And I love the look of your slice… it pretty much has all of my favourite crumble components rolled into a super-delicious, portable snack version! Love your creativity x
Trail mix with nuts and fruit for me. Thanks!
I love Greek yogurt with granola. I also love fresh fruit with nuts or nut butter.
my favorite healthy snack – roasted almonds with brown sugar and harissa and just plain old fresh fruit – I am a fruit fanatic and eat lots of different fruits – my faves are mangoes, pineapple and lychee
cucumbers and tomatoes with goat cheese.
Yum! This granola bars has always been my favorite. I first tried it couple years ago at Starbucks and am glad that you share the recipe here. My favorite snack…dark chocolate with dried fruits and salty nuts.
Healthy snack…TOO MANY TO CHOOSE FROM! Protein bars are among my favorite favorite! But also apples or celery with peanut butter! Awesome recipe, I’m excited to try
Guacamole and Celery sticks for sure. And I love these granola bars… I kind of want a pan all to myself.
My favorite healthy snack is carrot sticks.
I love green juice & smoothies. I love adding chia/hemp for them to make them super-smoothies! On the go I love larabars and vega one bars. Especially chocolate! Thanks for the chance to win 🙂
Love snacking on summertime fresh figs and medjool dates!
Love celery sticks paired with crunchy peanut butter!
Came here from the PNW Bloggers FB page. Quite excited about discovering Bestowed because they might want to send out samples of my organic herbal teas (http://herbalphilosophy.com)! As for my favorite snack….probably kale chips.
My favorite healthy snack is actually carrots and broccoli dipped in low fat dressing.
Right now my favorite snack is dry roasted chick peas
Store bought, I love the Date & Walnut KIND bars. I ate 5 during my two-day hospital stay after giving birth.
At home, greek yogurt with honey and fruit
My favorite healthy snack has got to be cherry tomatoes, but like lots of your other commenters, I also love homemade granola with Greek yogurt.
A beautiful use of blackberries and blueberries if ever I saw one. Saw these when they popped up on your IG feed and I instantly thought, very snack worthy! 🙂
I love carrots and snap peas with horseradish hummus!
Raw Almonds; I keep them in my pocket all of the time (in a tin)
My fav helthy snack is kale chips I’ve roasted in my oven with a touch of sea salt! Better than a potato chip!
A handful of toasted almonds and some grapes.
I love fresh fruit and nuts.
a handful of granola made either w/ applesauce or pumpkin and a just a bit of honey or popcorn w/o butter made in an old brown paper bag
Ants on a log! (Celery with peanut butter and raisins).
Would they turn out the same if I substituted gluten free flour instead?
Hmmm.. I am sorry but I am not sure. . if you try please let me know how it goes! They might be really crumbly ..
