  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup dried dates
  • 1/2 cup raisins

Directions

Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Coat a 9×13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Combine the oats, wheat germ, coconut and pecans in a large bowl and toss to combine. Whisk the brown sugar, canola oil, maple syrup, blueberry syrup, Vanilla Bean Paste, cinnamon and salt in a separate bowl. Pour over the dry ingredients and mix well.

Spread the oat mixture into the prepared pan. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Pour the hot granola onto a large baking sheet and let stand until cool. Stir in the cranberries, dates and raisins. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

 

Notes:

You can use Pure Vanilla Bean Paste in place of Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Bean Paste to achieve a different, but still delicious, flavor profile. Simply use the same amount of the Pure Vanilla Bean Paste.

Stir a couple of drops of Pure Lemon Extract into blueberry yogurt and top with this granola.
