Ingredients And Substitutions

These are the main ingredients and substitutions for Blueberry Flax Granola. Scroll down to the recipe card for a full list of ingredients and instructions.

Gluten-Free Rolled Oats: If you’re gluten-free, make sure to use certified gluten-free old-fashioned oats. Otherwise, any rolled oats will work. Quick oats haven’t been tested in this recipe.

Slivered Almonds: Add a delightful crunch and pair perfectly with the other flavors in the recipe.

Unsweetened Shredded Coconut: Brings a subtle, nutty flavor that enhances the overall taste.

Salt: A touch of salt balances the sweetness and adds a hint of that sweet-and-salty contrast.

Cinnamon: Warms up the flavors and adds a cozy, spiced note.

Nut or Seed Butter: Sun butter, tahini, or almond butter all work well—just be sure to use a naturally runny variety for easy mixing.

Maple Syrup: A natural sweetener that adds just the right amount of sweetness without overpowering.

Dried Blueberries: Wild or regular dried blueberries work best, adding chewy texture and bursts of fruity flavor. Fresh blueberries will not work.

How To Make

ONE: In a large bowl mix together all of the ingredients until fully combined. Then fold in the dried blueberries.

TWO: Spread the oat mixture onto a baking sheet and spread thin.

THREE: Bake until golden brown. Allow to sit for a few minutes before breaking into clusters and storing in an airtight container.

Tips And Tricks

Use an all natural runny nut butter for best results. If using a thick nut butter, then you may need to add in a touch of oil like coconut oil, extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil.

Spread the oat mixture onto a baking sheet that’s lined with parchment paper to prevent it from sticking. Press it into the pan in one large section to create clusters after baking.

How To Serve And Store

Serve this Blueberry Flax Granola on top of a yogurt bowl, smoothie bowl or enjoy it with milk as cereal. I also like to grab it by the handful for a quick and healthy snack.

Store in an airtight container on the counter and enjoy within 2 weeks!

Taste And Texture

This Blueberry Flax Granola is the perfect blend of sweet and salty. It’s filled with cinnamon flavor and has a nice balance of sweetness from the blueberries.

It’s crunchy, firm and chewy.
