You’ll find these kitchen tools useful (I've included affiliate links to the products I use at home):
- Large Sheet Pan, I use a commercial-sized sheet pan, I find the larger surface allows room to spread everything out and for an even bake.
- Silicone Liner, this is one of my favorite kitchen tools because you can use it over and over again (after washing) and it evenly bakes whatever you have on the sheet pan. Or parchment paper works great too.
Quick and Easy Blueberry Almond Granola Directions
- Preheat oven to 375°F and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the melted butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until combined. Add the oats, almonds, sunflower seeds, dates, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until the dry ingredients are lightly coated in the butter mixture.
- Gently fold in one cup of blueberries, and then transfer the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread the granola into a thin, uniform layer.
- Place the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and give the granola a good stir. Return to oven and bake for another 10 minutes before stirring again. If necessary, return to the oven for another 5 minutes or until the oats are golden brown. Do not overcook or the granola may become bitter.
- Remove from oven and cool completely. The granola will become nice and crispy as it cools. Once cooled, serve with Greek yogurt and the remaining fresh blueberries. Enjoy!
