These Triple Layer Vegan Blueberry Cheesecake Bars are going to make you guys swoon and are super easy to make!
I am so excited to share these triple layer vegan blueberry cheesecake bars with you guys, it has been killing me that I havenโt gotten this blog post up yet. My fruity-dessert loving boyfriend was going wild over them and I knew that meant that I had created something pretty dang good. He wouldnโt even bring them into work to share with his co-workers because he wanted them all for himself!!
If you donโt follow me on Instagram, you wouldnโt know that Tom and his co-workers rate my treats on a large Excel sheet. Itโs a fun little game they have going on and so whenever I send Tom to work with a new baked good or treat, they send me back a full report.
Well these blueberry cheesecake bars didnโt actually make it into work because someone wanted to eat them all for himself!
Anyway, while they look complex โ they are SO simple! The bottom layer is just ground up granola. The middle layer is my easy vegan cream cheese frosting, and the top layer is my simple 3-ingredient chia jam. The assembly is the thing that takes the longest.
I am super pumped to make these all summer long and am hoping that one day they will make it into Tomโs work so I can get the official rating from the coworkers.
For any cheesecake fan, definitely try my Healthy Mini Cheesecake Recipe next!

I’m considering trying this recipe subbing your chocolate granola for the bag and strawberries for the blueberries. Thoughts? How much granola should I use? Thanks!

Hi Erin! I want to ry this recipe but don’t have a food processor. Would a blender be sufficient to handle the cashews? Thanks!
Erin says
Hi Stella, yes, a blender should work!
