Preheat oven to 300ºF.
Combine rolled oats, pecans, and salt in a medium bowl and stir to combine.
3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats, 1 cup pecans, chopped, ½ teaspoon kosher salt
In a separate bowl, add extra virgin olive oil, pure maple syrup, pure vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Stir or whisk to thoroughly combine.
⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil, ⅓ cup pure maple syrup, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Add the dry ingredients (oats mixture) to the liquid mixture and stir until the oats are lightly coated.
Pour onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. If you desire chunks of granola, use the back of a spoon or spatula to pack the granola together.
Bake for 10 - 15 minutes before removing from oven and gently stirring.
Return to oven for the remaining baking time, about 15 minutes or until the oats turn a light golden brown.
At the completion of baking, remove from oven. Sprinkle dried blueberries over the granola and pat into the mixture using a spoon. Allow to rest before breaking apart and enjoying. Store in an airtight container.
