    Oil free and Vegan, this homemade Blueberry Almond Granola from scratch is one of my favorite healthy, nutritious breakfasts!

    Oil free, vegan Blueberry Almond Granola from scratchMmm granola.  I love granola as a snack, whether they be in bar form, or just loose like this.  Granola satisfies the crunch and touch of sweet that I'm often looking for in quick grab and go snack. This granola, unlike the others I've made, is even better. It's totally oil free which means less calories and fat, but still all the flavor. Oil free, vegan Blueberry Almond Granola from scratchWhile I'm adding lbs growing our little one, my studly husband has decided he wants to drop them before she's born.  Not that he needs to (in my opinion), but he's recognizing that his current gym schedule is not going to be maintainable once the baby is born, so he's preparing himself now.  Plus, if anyone's going to need some gym time post baby, it's going to be me trying to lose the baby weight.  So, even though I personally love our Copycat Kashi Go Lean Cereal, my husband still prefers granola like our Maple Pecan Granola and  Granola Bars.  Both contain either vegetable oil or coconut oil, so I decided to try a granola that was not only lower fat, but also a little beefed up in nutrients.  Oil free, vegan Blueberry Almond Granola from scratchBut also that was super easy to make.  So I just a mixed of all the dry ingredients, Oil free, vegan Blueberry Almond Granola from scratchthen a did separate mix of the natural sweeteners: agave, 100% pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract.Oil free, vegan Blueberry Almond Granola from scratchAll mixed together really well and onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet,  Oil free, vegan Blueberry Almond Granola from scratchand finally baked for about 25 minutes until browned and delicious.  I've been on a dehydrating fruit kick lately so I added some of blueberries I'd dried recently to give it a little extra deliciousness.  Hooray for a tasty, healthy, naturally sweetened, oil free snack / breakfast!Oil free and Vegan, this homemade Blueberry Almond Granola from scratch is one of my favorite healthy, nutritious breakfasts!

      Yummy! I ADORE homemade granola and make it all the time! We make it nearly the same too. I just finished a batch this afternoon with quinoa. I haven't added dried blueberries to any yet. They look great too! We should do breakfast 🙂

      Compromising oil with more nutrients dense food is a great idea! I love granola too and also I need to drop my weight as well. This recipe will help me too. Thank you for sharing 😀

        Thank you, Shihoko! I was worried it would have a big impact on the texture, but was pleasantly surprised when it didn't!

      I've been making granola for as long as I can remember, but my original recipes never included all these great seeds, this recipe seems like it has tons of flavor and texture!

      LOVE your jars!! I'm crazy when it comes to jars, the more the merrier haha.

      The granola looks absolutely delicious. I'm a huge fan of homemade granola, and I've never tried an oil free version so keen to give this a go =)
