Ingredients

2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup sunflower seed
1 cup chopped almonds
1/4 cup ground flaxseed
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon canola oil
1/2 cup real maple syrup
1 teaspoon water
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup dried blueberries

Directions:

Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking oil. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

In a large bowl, combine oats, almonds, flax seeds, and cinnamon.

In a medium-sized pot, heat maple syrup, oil and water over medium heat, stirring constantly for about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and add Mexican vanilla.

Pour syrup mixture over oat mixture and stir to combine. Spread granola across the prepared baking sheet. Bake at 350 until the granola reaches the desired color – about 15-20 minutes. Move granola around using a spatula. Lower heat to 25 degrees and bake until granola is mostly dry – about 20-30 minutes.

Remove from heat, and allow cooling before packing in jar. Stir in dried blueberries.
