How to make Mixed Berry Breakfast Bars

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, and preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Place the oatmeal in the center of the parchment paper, and add the honey, brown sugar, cinnamon, maple syrup, vanilla, and a pinch of salt on the top of the oatmeal, and with clean hands, mix the granola altogether until well blended, and spread out in a single layer on the parchment paper.

Bake for 10 – 15 minutes, or until the granola is golden brown and crunchy. Remove from the oven, and allow to cool on a wire rack.

While the granola is cooling, rinse the blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries in a colander under cool water, and turn out on to paper towels to drain.

When the granola has cooled to the touch, but still warm, line the bottom of the 9 X 9 pan with parchment paper, and press the granola evenly into the pan. Place in the freezer.

In a bowl, add the blueberry yogurt, half a pint of blueberries, 1 teaspoon of vanilla, 2 Tablespoons of sugar, 1 Tablespoon of honey, mix well, and set aside.

In another bowl, add the vanilla yogurt, half of the blackberries, 1 teaspoon of vanilla, 2 Tablespoons of sugar, 1 Tablespoon of honey, mix well, and set aside.

In another bowl, add the raspberry yogurt, half of the raspberries, 1 teaspoon of vanilla, 2 Tablespoons of sugar, 1 Tablespoon of honey, mix well, and set aside.

Remove the granola from the freezer, and spread the Blueberry yogurt mixture on top of the granola.

Spread the vanilla/blackberries mixture on top of the blueberry layer, and spread the raspberry mixture on top of the vanilla layer.

Sprinkle the remaining blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries on top of the last layer, cover with foil and place in the freezer overnight.

The next morning, remove blueberry bars from the freezer, cut into 2 X 3-inch bars, and serve. Enjoy!
