Coconut Blueberry Pecan Granola
Ok, so today’s theme is “Choose Joy”!
There are seriously so many things that I could focus on that would just bring me down. The fact that for whatever reason, all the people around me seem to be getting pregnant and having babies and we still cannot. That we haven’t found deep community or friends to share our lives. That sometimes I spend hours during the week taking photos, editing photos, writing posts, and trying to “get my stuff out there” to the virtual world but my pageviews don’t show it. That I will be turning 30 in a couple of months and my body seems to be changing in a not so good way at the thought of getting there.
So many things to worry or agonize over. But I am CHOOSING JOY! I choose joy not because its easy but because it is better for me than the alternative. I choose joy because I have a reason to be joyful. I choose joy because my circumstances do not dictate my life, God dictates my life and he is joy, peace, and love. So I choose Joy!
I am thankful that I have a wonderful husband who is selfless, loves me unconditionally, helps around the house and loves to spend time with our son. {even if its putting him on his shoulders while mowing the lawn!}
I have an adorable son who is filled with so much joy it just spills over. His smile lights up a room. He is a constant learner and explorer. He loves well, wants to include everyone in whatever he is doing, and has such a compassionate heart for people.
I am thankful for sunrises, warm weather, a not so perfect but loving family, worship music, vacations, a good bottle of wine, yummy food, and you. Why? Because YOU give me a reason to share all my recipes every week. I mean I would probably still write anyways just because its fun and I enjoy it. But you actually look at and make my recipes, which brings me .. yup… JOY! 🙂
Today I am sharing an absolutely delicious Coconut Blueberry Pecan Granola recipe. After you eat this, you will never buy store bought granola again. I actually just happened upon this recipe. I was making my Almond Vanilla Granola and then decided to change up the recipe a bit, which turned into this beauty. I am officially addicted to the stuff and need to go out and buy more dried blueberries so I can make more.
Not only is it a great breakfast option with milk or yogurt but it is perfect just munch on during the day for a quick pick-me-up snack.
How to Make Coconut Blueberry Pecan Granola
To get started, preheat over to 325º. In a large bowl, toss 2 cups old fashioned oats, 1/2 cup of chopped pecans, 2 Tablespoons of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, 1/4 cup of unsweetened coconut flakes, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the wet ingredients, 4 tablespoons of melted coconut oil, 1/2 cup of pure maple syrup, and 1 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Whisk until combined.
Pour wet mixture over dry mixture and toss to coat everything.
On a baking sheet, place either a silicon baking mat or wax paper and then spread granola mixture out across entire pan. Bake for 30 minutes or until granola is slightly browned. You will want to turn the granola every 10 minutes so it doesn’t burn.
Remove from oven and let cool, toss in 1/2 cup of dried blueberries.
