This gluten free blueberry vanilla granola is the perfect topping for yogurt and it makes for a healthy breakfast or snack. It’s gluten free and dairy free and can be made vegan if you substitute out the honey with maple syrup.
Homemade Granola
Granola is one of those things that seems complicated to make at first but it is actually one of the simplest things to make, in my opinion. There are so many flavor combinations you can try but today I’m sharing how to make my homemade blueberry vanilla granola. I love making this on Sunday and then using it for breakfasts and snacks throughout the week.
Serving Suggestions
This homemade blueberry vanilla granola is delicious on its own and I definitely grab a handful from time to time when I’m in a rush and just eat it that way. But I also enjoy it with coconut yogurt, almond milk, fresh fruit, fruit salad, or even dairy-free ice cream.

Ingredient Swaps
The great thing about granola is that it’s easy to customize and swap out ingredients. If I don’t have one of the nuts on hand, I’ll just swap it out with one that I do have. So don’t feel like you can’t experiment and try substitutions if you want. Let me know in the comments below if you tried a variation and how it turned out!
How To Make Gluten Free Blueberry Vanilla Granola
