How to Prepare:

• Step 1: Preheat Your Oven - Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your granola will bake evenly and become perfectly crispy.
• Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients - In a large mixing bowl, combine the old-fashioned oats, unsweetened coconut, chopped almonds, brown sugar, and sea salt. Stir everything together until well mixed.
• Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients - In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, pure maple syrup, lemon zest, and fresh lemon juice until fully combined.
• Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures - Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients. Use your spatula to gently mix until all the dry ingredients are coated with the wet mixture.
• Step 5: Spread on Baking Sheet - Line your baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour the granola mixture onto the sheet and spread it out evenly. Press down gently to help it clump together.
• Step 6: Bake - Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through. Keep an eye on it to ensure it doesn’t burn. You want it to be golden and fragrant!
• Step 7: Add Dried Blueberries - Once the granola is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. After cooling, stir in the dried blueberries.
• Step 8: Cool Completely - Allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet. This will help it become extra crunchy.
• Step 9: Store - Once cooled, transfer your Lemon Blueberry Granola to an airtight container. It can be stored at room temperature for up to two weeks.
