Homemade Blueberry Almond Granola

During college my roommate got me hooked on granola with honey greek yogurt... Ooohh it's so good.



I have been wanting to make some granola for a while now.. I finally got all the stuff together and then started looking for recipes.




I looked and looked, but I couldn't find a recipe that was just what I wanted.  So I decided you know what? I got this!  And I made up my own.

I'm pretty darn happy with the way it turned out! It has everything I wanted in it and since i used honey and coconut oil, it's pretty healthy too.


The perfect thing when I just really need something yummy :)





Blueberry Almond Granola

Dry Ingredients 

4 Cups old Fashion oats 

1 Cup Almond slivers 

1/2 Cup coconut 

1/2 Cup flaxseed (optional)

1 - 1 1/2 Cups dried blueberries

Wet Ingredients

1/4 Cup coconut oil

3/4 Cup honey


Instructions 

Combine all the dry ingredients except the dried blueberries.  In a small saucepan melt the coconut oil.  Next, stir in the honey with the coconut oil.  

Add the wet mixture to the dry and stir until all the oats are covered.  Bake on a parchment lined cookie sheet at 325 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until golden.  Make sure to take it out and stir it a couple of times as it cooks so all sides get evenly toasted. 

Once it's done cooking stir in the dried blueberries.





There you have it! So simple and as a bonus it smells SOO good while it cooks.  Just what we needed on this cold snowy day!
