Creative in the Kitchen with Safe + Fair Birthday Cake Granola

I became so obsessed with Safe + Fair’s allergen-free granola that I knew I had to experiment with it in the kitchen. Their Birthday Cake flavor is so addictive, I need them to start a subscription service so I can just always be fully stocked. In addition to using it as a topping on yogurt, smoothie bowls and in cereal, I’ve come up with a super yummy cookie recipe and a variation on Rice Krispie Treats using the granola. Make sure to tag us on Instagram if you try them out (@ManhattanTwist)!
