WHEAT & WALNUT GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F

• In a large bowl toss together shredded wheat and walnuts; set aside.
• In a small bowl stir together honey, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt, if using.
• Pour over the dry ingredients and toss thoroughly to combine.
• Spread evenly in the prepared baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring two or three times, until the mixture is lightly toasted. If it seems damp, it will crisp as it cools.

5-MINUTE GRANOLA

Steps:

• Add the oats, almonds and coconut to a dry nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Toast in the skillet, stirring, until they are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Stir in the wheat germ, then pour onto a plate.
• Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. When the butter has melted, add the honey, brown sugar, maple syrup, vanilla and salt. Bring to a boil and let cook, stirring, until it combines into a thin syrup, about 1 minute.
• Add the toasted dry ingredients back to the skillet and stir quickly, keeping the granola from clumping too much, but ensuring the dry ingredients are all coated in the syrup, about 1 minute. Serve warm, or allow to cool for 30 minutes, at which point the granola will become crispier.
• Sprinkle the granola over the cold yogurt and garnish with blueberries.
