Blueberry, maple & vanilla bean granola

The perfect light and crispy breakfast is here! This blueberry, maple & vanilla bean granola is made with simple ingredients and goes perfectly on top your favourite yogurts, smoothie bowls or just in a bowl on its own!

One thing I like to make on the reg in my home is granola. Besides the fact that it tastes deee–lish, it fills the whole house with that sweet baking smell. It’s that perfect smell that just draws you to the kitchen waiting for what’s about to come out of the oven.

I love that smell.

I love it almost as much as I love eating this granola itself. (almost.) 

This blueberry, maple & vanilla bean granola is also a super local Canadian recipe for me! Two of my favourite local Quebec foods we have are wild blueberries and maple syrup. They are technically more summer foods…but hey, why not get started on the summer foods early…right? (I say as there is currently a snowstorm outside…)

I used dried wild blueberries in this recipe, but any dried blueberries work great! You can even use any alternative dried fruits you love.

I always love looking up what types of granola other people are cooking up. I’m always inspired by great granola recipes, like this one from 3 fois par jour, and this one from my new roots.  Two fellow Canadian bloggers who I love!

This blueberry, maple & vanilla bean granola is:

• Vegan
• Refined-sugar free
• High in fibre & protein
• Makes a great breakfast, snack, or topping

I use a mix of sliced almonds and hemp seeds in the granola to add some bulk and protein to it, but you can substitute with any types of nuts & seeds you like, or even with more oats.
