Lemon-Blueberry Granola

Jessica Braider
I recently had the opportunity to try Bob’s Red Mill’s Lemon-Blueberry Granola and it was amazing. So good, in fact, that I was inspired to try to recreate it for myself. The result has been such a hit in my family that I wanted to share it with yours. For breakfast or a snack, serve it on top of yogurt, milk, or fruit.

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups rolled oats (use wheat/gluten-free, if needed)
  • 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cardamom
  • 1/4 - 1/2 tsp. kosher salt, sea salt, or other coarse salt
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 5/16 cup maple syrup
  • 2 lemons 1 Tbsp. of the juice and 2 Tbsp. of the zest
  • 1 - 2 cup nuts or seeds such as walnuts, almonds, pecans, cashews, pepitas, and/or sesame seeds chopped
  • 1 cup dried blueberries or currants

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a medium-sized baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  • In a large bowl, combine the oats, ginger, cardamom, and salt. Once well mixed, add the oil, maple syrup, and lemon juice and zest and stir until well combined.
  • Spread the mixture evenly on the baking sheet and place it in the oven for 15 minutes.
  • While the granola is baking, chop your nuts or seeds if they are not already chopped.
  • After 15 minutes, give the granola a stir and evenly spread it out on the baking sheet again. Return the granola to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes, or until golden.
  • Remove the granola from the oven and mix in the nuts and blueberries. Stir well and then let it cool to room temperature.
  • Store the granola in an airtight container in your pantry for up to a month or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Notes

Do Ahead or Delegate: Combine the spices, chop the nuts, or fully prepare and store the granola.
Scramble Flavor Booster: Double the cardamom and/or ginger and/or add ½ tsp. cinnamon
Tip: When zesting a lemon, zest it right over the bowl or pot. This will allow you to catch as many of the lemon oils as possible, leading to a more flavorful end result.
