Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp pure almond extract
  • 1 1/4 cups rolled oats gluten-free certified, if necessary
  • 1/4 cup slivered almonds
  • 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
  • 1/4 cup dried dates pitted and chopped
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/4 cups fresh blueberries divided
  • Greek yogurt to serve

Method
 

  1. Pre-heat oven to 375°F and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the melted butter, maple syrup, almond extract, and vanilla extract until combined. Add the oats, almonds, sunflower seeds, dates, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until the dry ingredients are lightly coated in the butter mixture.
  3. Gently fold in one cup blueberries, and then transfer the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread the granola into a thin, uniform layer.
  4. Place the baking sheet into the pre-heated oven and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and give the granola a good stir. Return to oven and bake for another 10 minutes before stirring again.
  5. If necessary, return to oven for another 5 minutes or until the oats are golden brown. Do not overcook or the granola may become bitter.
  6. Bake granola for 35-40 minutes, until edges are just starting to brown. DO NOT STIR GRANOLA AT ALL WHILE BAKING! This will make it so the granola bakes together and creates lots of delicious chunks!
  7. Remove from oven and cool completely. The granola will become nice and crispy as it cools. Once cooled, serve with Greek yogurt and the remaining fresh blueberries. Enjoy!
