These blueberry vanilla greek yogurt granola bars have me wishing it was blueberry season. They are so good for breakfast, snack, or dessert!
But, I am pretty sure that is the way most of us are feeling right about now.
It’s the very last few days of winter and those can be some of the worst. I am currently looking out the window at a whiteout. So ya, I am so ready for spring. Sunshine, warmth and berries out the yazoo! Unfortunately, I am pretty sure that most berries are summer foods so I still have a few months. Although, the spring strawberries are starting to pop up. Yesss. Give me them all.
Please.
If you wanted to, you could use strawberries in these, really any berry or dried fruit you love would work. Pretty sure they’d all be good, but I wanted something other than cranberries so I went with blueberries. Well, that and I really love blueberries + they were magically on sale last week and I could not resist buying four cartons. I could have eaten them all at once, but sadly I did something friendly and shared.
I shouldn’t have. They were so good.
I can’t actually find dried blueberries where I live, so I used fresh ones that I dried out in the oven. If it’s easier for you, feel free to just buy dried ones. The bonus to quickly doing it yourself is that they are not coated in sugar. But I gotta say, stopping yourself from eating them is kind of hard.
I’d buy extra. Like a lot.
Alright, but let’s talk about the greek yogurt coating.
Yes, it’s really greek yogurt that you have to let sit out (preferably overnight), so it dries and forms a coating. Just like the yogurt covered granola bars you would buy in the store, but a little healthier. While the bars themselves are super healthy, the coating is more like a frosting with some greek yogurt. It’s super delicious, but um yeah, there is sugar in that coating. It’s all about balance.
Oh, and the photo above? Please excuse my scratched up nail polish and ring that is slightly too big for my thumb.
I was in the kitchen working with three five years old and well, they just sort of took over. Both the baking and then my hands. Before I knew it I was receiving a kindergarten manicure complete with jewelry. I have to say though, I do love that ring. It’s one of my favorites. And as far as the nails go, I mean for five-year olds, I would say that all in all, they did a pretty good job. Not sure I could have done any better to be honest.
Even though it was mad chaos with three little girls, their heels (really my heels, all from when I was living in LA, and all at least 3 inches tall) and accessories, we had fun making these.
They stirred, they dipped, they licked and things were flying everywhere in the process.
Aside from the fact that the bars require a decent chunk of time for the yogurt to dry out, they are actually pretty simple and super easy.
I used this recipe from the Kitchn for the yogurt coating and I have to say that I was really skeptical on whether or not it would work, but WOW it so did.
I left mine to dry overnight twice and would recommend doing the same. After that the bars can be stored just like any other granola bar, but they’re gonna go fast.
Asher says these are better than good, they are amazing. And that is coming from a five-year old.
And we all know that little people always tell it like it is.

Oh and Asher says to tell you again that, “they are delicious”!.
Delicious.
Never tried this way before. Gonna try.
Thanks for sharing..
I hope you love this! Thank you!
Hey! The recipe looks so tempting mainly coz of the yogurt aspect… Could you just let me know for how long can it be stored in air tight containers?
And btw , I love your write up style! Asher seems a definitely good critic! 😉
Hi there! I recommend keeping the the fridge for a week or the freezer for up to 3 months. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe. Thanks so much and happy Thanksgiving! xTieghan
Hello! I just randomly came upon your blog and am very excited to try some of your recipes – they all look amazing! Anyway, getting to the point – how long can these stay in the airtight container before they would go bad? (Apologies if this is already in an earlier comment).

Could you substitute pb2 to decrease the fat calories?
HI! I do not recommend using pb2 as I do not think that will bind the bars in the same way regular peanut butter does. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe. Thanks so much! xTieghan
I’m no longer certain where you’re getting your info, but great topic.
I needs to spend a while learning much mlre or working out
more. Thanks for great info I used to be in search of this inforrmation for my mission.
Thank you!
hey I really wanna make this but I’m allergic to coconut. Is there something I can substitute it with?
Thank you!
Hi! You can use an equal amount of brown rice krispies. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe. Thanks so much! x Tieghan

I really loved what you had to say, annd more than that, how

Do you have any tips for drying out fresh blueberries?
I let them dry in the oven for a few hours at 275. I recommend checking them every hour to make sure they don’t burn. Please let me know if you have other questions. Hope you love this recipe! Thanks! 🙂
These look great. Do you have to add the powdered sugar to the yogurt though??
The powdered sugar is key in making the coating harden, so I do recommend adding it. Please let me know if you have other questions. Hope you love this recipe! Thanks! 🙂
just made these, and they are SO SO SO SO GOOD!! mine stuck together great (Even tho i only left them in freezer half an hour). mine also turned out almost too sweet though (and are perfectly delicious without the coating as well) – maybe because i used manuka honey (i had no regular honey at home!)? THANK YOU!!
I am so glad you liked these! Thank you so much!
I am making these now but cannot seem to get them to not crumble when I am trying to cut the bars. Do you have any advice?
HI! Make sure the bars are very cold, frozen is best. This makes them SO much easier to cut. Please let me know if you have other questions. Hope you love this recipe! Happy Holiday’s ? 🙂
