Lately, I've been eating the same breakfast day in and out: a big bowl of Greek yogurt topped with a sprinkling of granola and some fresh blueberries.

And when it comes to granola, I always opt for a homemade version. It's a lot cheaper than the granola you can find in the grocery store, and it's so much more delicious.

So, today I wanted to share one of my favorite homemade granola recipes with you! This recipe is packed with lots of healthy nuts and seeds, and it gets an extra flavor punch from coconut chips and dried blueberries.

Let's make some granola, shall we?

Tips for Making This Granola

Here are a few tips when making this granola:

• Be sure to line your sheet tray with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Otherwise, the granola will stick to the sheet tray and be really difficult to remove later. 
• Stir the granola halfway through to help it bake evenly. Around the 10 to 12-minute mark, take the granola out of the oven and give it a good toss with a spatula; this will help ensure that the entire tray of granola bakes at the same rate. 
• Make sure not to overbake the granola. When you take the granola out of the oven, it still might be a bit soft to the touch. However, it will continue to crisp up as it cools at room temperature. Once it completely cools, toss it with the dried blueberries and enjoy.

Notes

• Substitutions: I like the flavor of almonds and pecans in this recipe, but you can definitely swap them for other nuts if desired. I think walnuts would be delicious in this granola as well. 
• Baking Time: I have found that 23-25 minutes is about the perfect baking time for this recipe. At the halfway mark, I like to remove the tray from the oven, stir everything around with my spatula, and return the tray to continue baking. This helps make sure everything bakes evenly. 
• Storage: I love storing this granola in quart containers! They help keep the granola fresh, and they easily fit in the pantry.
