    Quick and Easy

    Ah, granola. It’s crunchy, sweet, energizing and can be found in almost any flavor. It is also incredibly easy to make at home! All you need is a big bowl, a rimmed baking sheet and about 30 minutes. You can put in any combination of nuts, seeds and dried fruit that you like, but personally, I think this Blueberry Almond Easy Homemade Granola is the BEST. It makes the perfect breakfast or snack. My littles can’t keep their hand out of the granola jar! Grab a spoon and dig in because this stuff is GOOD!

    Top It Off

    I like it with just a splash of rice milk and fresh fruit. I love the texture difference with the fresh vs. dried fruit. It would also make a great parfait with layers of coconut yogurt or a crumble topping for a bowl of banana “ice cream.” How would you top your bowl?

    Anyway you like it, this easy homemade granola is packed with healthy protein, fiber, fats, vitamins and minerals. It will keep you feeling full for hours.

        I’m obsessed with it too. Your kid had great taste – I just saw that he loves vinegar on his greens on your instagram post – that’s how I like them too! I hope he likes this granola!
