Lemon Blueberry Granola Clusters

These granola clusters are sweet, chewy, and have a flavor combination of lemon + blueberry that is out of this world!

This simple homemade snack will become a favorite at your house. They resemble a regular chewy granola bar, but with an extra special touch: the lemon drizzle.

Not to mention, the lemon + blueberry flavor is one of my favorites, and this recipe is no exception.

These granola clusters are similar to drop cookies and get their sweetness from the maple syrup, dried blueberries, and of course, the lemon drizzle on top.

So how do we make them? It’s really similar to granola, except we are making them into “cookies” instead.

Step 1: Mix together the wet ingredients: maple syrup, oil, egg, vanilla extract, and the juice & zest from a lemon.

Step 2: Pour in the dry ingredients (oats, dried blueberries, and salt) and mix together well.

Step 3: Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, place dropped “cookies” (about 2 inches in diameter) onto a parchment lined sheet, then bake at 350°F for about 20 minutes.

Step 4: Mix together the simple lemon glaze.

Step 5: Allow the clusters to cool before drizzling the lemon glaze on top, and enjoy!

The bright sweet flavor of these clusters will have you wanting to make another batch as soon as they run out.

Tips:

• You definitely don’t want to leave out the eggs in this recipe, as they help to hold the clusters together.

• Make sure you wait for the clusters to cool completely before drizzling on the glaze. It will still come out tasting the same, but the glaze will run everywhere and soak into the cluster instead of being a drizzle.
  

Meal Prep:

This recipe can easily be doubled—or tripled, and you can store the extras in the freezer to be thawed later on for a convenient snack during those busy weekdays.

Lemon Blueberry Granola Clusters

prep time: 5 minutes

cook time: 20 minutes + 20 minutes of cool time

total time: 45 minutes

INGREDIENTS

For the clusters:

• 1/4 cup maple syrup

• 1/4 cup coconut oil

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 2 eggs

• the juice and zest from 1 lemon (+ more will be needed for the drizzle topping)

• 2 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats (not quick-cooking)

• 1/3 cup dried blueberries

• 1/2 tsp salt

For the lemon drizzle topping:

• 1 cup powdered sugar

• 1 tbsp lemon juice

• 1 tsp lemon zest

• 1 tbsp butter

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat your oven to 350° F.

2. Start by mixing all of the wet ingredients together until fully combined: eggs, vanilla extract, coconut oil, maple syrup, lemon juice, and lemon zest.

3. Add in the dry ingredients: oats, dried blueberries, and salt. Mix well.

4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, form 2 inch sized “drop cookies” of the mixture onto the cookie sheet.

5. Bake for 18-20 minutes.

6. While it is in the oven, start on the lemon glaze. Add the melted butter, lemon juice, and zest into a bowl or measuring cup, then add the cup of powered sugar. Mix well with a large fork or spoon to get any clumps out.

7. Place the glaze into a plastic bag and cut a very small hole on one of the corners to create a piping bag.

8. When the clusters are finished baking, allow them to cool for at least 20 minutes before drizzling the lemon glaze on them, and enjoy!
