Ingredients
- ½ cup honey
- ¼ cup brown sugar, firmly packed
- 3 tablespoons butter, plus extra for buttering your pan
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 ½ cups quick-cooking oats
- 2 cups of fresh Georgia blueberries
- ½ cup slivered almonds
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-by-9-inch pan and set aside.
- Mix together the honey, brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon in a sauce pan. Bring to a boil and allow to boil for about 2 minutes. Stir in the vanilla and remove from heat.
- In a separate bowl, mix together oats, almonds and Georgia blueberries. Pour the hot liquid ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir carefully until all the ingredients are mixed well.
- Pour the granola mixture into the buttered dish. Press the ingredients down tightly into the pan with a buttered piece of parchment or wax paper (so that it won’t stick). Bake in the preheated oven, uncovered, for 40 minutes.
- Cool completely. Cut into 12 to 14 granola bars.
