BLUEBERRY ALMOND GRANOLA
My kid's school asked that the parents send a snack in for the kids to munch during the day while they do their schoolwork since lunch is so late in the day. I found this tastey treat in a magazine from Penzey's (btw- if your not familiar with them CHECK THEM OUT!!) This is a great little snack for what I needed it for- and I can imagine a hundred ways to tweak it and use it! Add some cinnamon to the honey mixture and use dried diced apples instead of berries to make a harvest granola, or use sweetened dried coconut, dried diced pineapple and some cherry flavored dried cranberries to make a Hawiian granola. YUM!!! What a wonderfully sneaky way to get more fiber into your kid's diet!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300.
- In a medium sized bowl combine oats, oat bran, ground flax, wheat germ, almonds and salt. Set aside.
- In a saucepan bring honey, brown sugar, vanilla, canola oil, and water just to a bubble over low heat.
- pour the honey mixture over the oat mixture, using a spatula to scrape out every last drop- and toss until the oats are evenly moistened.
- Spread the oats into 2 ungreased 9x13 casserole dishes, and bake at 300 for 20 min, stirring twice.
- Cool completely- add blueberries.
- Can be stored in a sealed container for up to two weeks. Granola will keep longer in the freezer.
Tips:
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries. Fresh blueberries are best, but frozen blueberries will work in a pinch. If using frozen blueberries, thaw them before adding them to the granola.
- Toast the almonds before adding them to the granola. This will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
- Don't overcook the granola. The granola should be golden brown and crispy, but not burnt. Keep a close eye on it while it's baking.
- Let the granola cool completely before storing it. This will help it to keep its crispy texture.
- Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. You can also store it in the freezer for up to 3 months.

This blueberry almond granola is a delicious and healthy breakfast or snack. It's packed with whole grains, nuts, and fruit, and it's a great way to start your day.
