Simple Wild Blueberry Granola
By Veronica Rouse, RD
Ingredients
- 3 cups old fashioned oats
- 1 cup sliced almonds
- 1 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1 cup ground flaxseed
- 1 cup dried wild blueberries
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup water
Preparation
-
Set oven to 300F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
-
In a large bowl, combine oats, nuts, seeds, dried wild blueberries, salt and cinnamon.
-
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine brown sugar, oil and water. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture starts to bubble (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from heat.
-
Pour the syrup over the oat mixture and stir until everything is well coated.
-
Spread the mixture evenly on the baking sheet. Bake for 40-45 minutes, stirring halfway through for even baking. If you prefer chunkier granola, press the mixture down before baking and avoid stirring.
-
Let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet – it will crisp up as it cools.
-
Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
Wild Blue is Good for You!
