Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 300°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the oats, rice cereal, chopped almonds, hemp hearts, flaxmeal, cinnamon, and salt until evenly distributed.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract and almond extract.
  • Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir well so everything is evenly coated.
  • Spread out the mixture into one thin layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 20 minutes. Turn the pan 180 degrees and bake another 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the pan to a cooling rack. Sprinkle the dried blueberries all over the top. Allow it to cool.
  • Once cool, break the granola up into clusters.

Notes

~ Use old fashioned rolled oats for best texture.
~ Be sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl so that all ingredients are evenly moistened.
~ Spread the mixture as thinly as possible without leaving much space in between the ingredients. This will ensure you'll get big crunchy clusters once you break it up.
~ Turn the pan 180 degrees after 20 minutes to ensure even baking throughout, but do not mix the ingredients.
~ Do not add the dried blueberries until after it comes out of the oven so they don't burn.
~ Allow the granola to cool completely before transferring to a storage container.
~ To make this recipe gluten-free, be sure to use certified gluten-free oats.
~ To make this recipe nut-free, use sunflower seed butter instead of almond butter and skip the chopped almonds.
