Blueberry Granola Recipe

finished ollie kendra granola

My friend Barbara inspired me to devise this granola recipe after sampling her delicious batch right out of the oven. Both of us enjoy playing around with granola ingredients for different flavors. This recipe was my first big success. It is a perfect match with yogurt as a breakfast treat, but I often eat it straight out of the jar as a snack.

Grade B maple syrup is a little more expensive than other maple syrup types but the flavor and nutritional value is well worth the extra money.
