Blueberry Almond Granola

Recipe #391065 | 35 min | 15 min prep | add private note

My kid's school asked that the parents send a snack in for the kids to munch during the day while they do their schoolwork since lunch is so late in the day. I found this tastey treat in a magazine from Penzey's (btw- if your not familiar with them CHECK THEM OUT!!) This is a great little snack for what I needed it for- and I can imagine a hundred ways to tweak it and use it! Add some cinnamon to the honey mixture and use dried diced apples instead of berries to make a harvest granola, or use sweetened dried coconut, dried diced pineapple and some cherry flavored dried cranberries to make a Hawiian granola. YUM!!! What a wonderfully sneaky way to get more fiber into your kid's diet!

I just finished making a batch of this from the catalog. We didn't have oat bran so I used wheat. I had the same thought, it was good, but might be even better with some cinnamon or almond extract or... I haven't made much granola in the past but thought this one seemed a little lower in fat and sugar, and think it will be enjoyed by the whole family!
