Vegan Lemon Blueberry Superfood Granola

Posted by Gabrielle in Breakfast, Cooking, Easter, Granola | 4 comments

Hello & Happy Tuesday!!

Every few months I discover a new love for a food concept. Right now, it’s granola! I’ve never been a granola person as the typical store bought options are packed with sugar and additives and I prefer a less carb heavy breakfast. However, if made from scratch, you have control over the sugar content and everything else that goes into it. 

So why are there endless granola companies even today?! Because it’s SO EASY to make and the cost is pennies. That being said, skip the overpriced store bought options and simply make it yourself! How many times do you see berries on their way out?! (all the time) Stop wasting money and food and throw it in some granola. Think you need a fancy dehydrator?! You don’t. Simply toss in the oven and walk away. 

Believe it or not, there weren’t a lot of lemon blueberry granola recipes online. That being said, it was an easy answer with what blend to try next! What’s great about this recipe, is honestly, everything! It’s easy to throw together, affordable, features tons of superfoods that add nutrients and texture, it has a gorgeous lemon flavor, homemade dried blueberries, it’s filling, pairs well with yogurt or just simple almond milk, perfect for any season, can easily be made in bulk, and could be made into bars!!
