I never realized how much I love granola until I made my own. Granola is one of those things that you can enjoy for breakfast or snack. So the possibilities are always endless with the add-ins and the way you serve it. My kids love to snack on it as is. I personally love it with a creamy Greek yogurt and drizzle of honey. Also milk and granola is the best homemade “cereal” you’ll ever have! I mean you really can’t go wrong.

This berry crunch granola is all about the berries and the delicious crunch! It’s your basic granola recipe but what makes it so special is all the add-ins: sunflower seeds, almonds, walnuts, flax seeds, cranberries, and blueberries. The granola itself is not overly sweet. The dried berries add just the perfect amount of sweetness. Also flax in granola has become my go to. It’s loaded with protein, fiber, and I love adding it into food whenever I can.

So to make the granola, you basically want to combine your dry ingredients together, minus the dried berries. Then add the coconut oil and honey. Stir, stir, and stir. Seriously, make sure to stir really well so that way every oat and nut is coated. Then spread the mixture onto a large baking sheet and bake for about 21-23 minutes in a 350 degree F oven. The granola will be slightly toasted and soft. When it cools it will crisp up.  Once it has cooled, stir in the dried berries and eat way.

  • 4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup unsalted, shelled, sunflower seeds
  • 1/2 cup unsalted whole almonds, roughly chopped

    Excellent recipe! The only thing I would change is to add the berries while the granola is still warm & easy to stir-in. Do this at step #3, where you stir the granola. Put it back into the mixing bowl, add the berries, then finish the baking. This helps the berries stick to the oats.
