cranberry blueberry almond granola
03Nov13
Here’s my latest — long-delayed, I realize. Apologies for a crazy few months getting in the way of posts to Veg Here!
I continue to experiment with granola. My colleague had given me feedback on the last batch that it was too wacky. What she really loved in granola was a hearty, healthy, wholesome flavor profile. So, in honor of her (her initials are CBA), I made this mostly fruit and nut variety. I added a little dark rum to punch up the flavors, but otherwise this is a classic version.
Cranberry Blueberry Almond Granola

Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
- In a large bowl, mix oats, almonds, coconut and brown sugar.
