Blueberry Granola Cereal is an easy homemade cereal recipe that is a delicious way to kick-start your day. Simple, healthy, you’ll never buy pre-packaged cereal again.
If you have been a long time reader here then you know that about a year ago I made a commitment to my kids that I would give them a homemade breakfast every day. I am pleased to say that we have been able to EASILY do that (with the exception of when we are traveling). It has really stretched my creativity in the kitchen to come up with new & fun recipes that they will enjoy. But it’s been really great knowing that I am giving them homemade goodness each & every morning.
It didn’t have to mean lots of time in the kitchen for me either – many recipes were either prepare ahead over the weekend – like muffins or banana bread. Or sometimes they were easy enough that they could do it themselves – like the Simple Blueberry Smoothie. But I think we all missed cereal after a few months. So I decided to see what I could do about making my own. This Blueberry Granola Cereal is definitely a family favorite.

I try my best to pair it with organic milk whenever possible too. I’m working hard to eliminate preservatives, additives & hormones from the things we eat so that is always on my mind.
This is super easy. Just add the ingredients into a large bowl – mix well & bake. The kids help me with getting everything added & coming up with new & creative things they would like to enjoy in it. Then it’s just bake, stir & bake. Let it cool completely before storing & it’s good all week long. My oven will accommodate a full size baking sheet (18×26) so we make a double batch to make sure we have enough for the week.
