Easy Homemade Blueberry Granola
Homemade granola is such a special treat to make at home - from the creative expression with selected ingredients to the nutty, delicate sweetness while it bakes. Bonus points if you dry the fruit yourself, but that's completely optional!
Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup pecans, chopped
- ½ cup dried blueberries or fruit of your choice
- ⅓ cup EVOO
- ⅓ cup honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300ºF.
- Combine rolled oats, pecans, and salt in a medium bowl and stir to combine.
- In a separate bowl, add EVOO, honey, pure vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Whisk to thoroughly combine.
- 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.
