Lavender and blueberry honey granola
Sweet + floral lavender and blueberry honey granola recipe. Because life is simply better with honey caramelized granola and botanical flavors. These perfect clusters of sweet granola add a touch of whimsy to your day!
Welcome Sunday
Welcoming Sunday with the newest obsession in the Buckley house. Lavender and blueberry honey granola. Our house smelt like freshly baked cookies as the honey caramelized the granola.
Sunday is usually reserved for buttermilk pancakes in our household. And every Sunday morning, my sweet husband makes mine last so that he can add a little bit of lavender into my batter.
Even though it is quite the craze, lavender is still so underrated in baked goods and pancakes. And really… in everything. I admit, I even drink a lavender latte daily.
Lavender lovers unite
This week I really needed some kitchen therapy and wanted to create some new recipes. I decided I’d try some lavender granola, made from some lavender botanical honey I infused over the holidays. I am SO glad I did!
If you are vegan or do not have lavender infused honey on hand, you can make a lavender simple syrup (see recipe for suggestions). You can also swap the butter for coconut oil no problem. Coconut oil is not easy to come by or affordable where I live, so I use butter in my granola these days.
Just a few simple ingredients are needed to put together this Lavender and blueberry granola recipe. I used
- Oats or gluten free oats
- Butter or coconut oil
- Dried blueberries
- Lavender infused honey or lavender simple syrup
- Sea salt
The recipe for lavender and blueberry honey granola
Lavender and blueberry honey granola
Sweet + floral homemade Lavender and blueberry honey granola recipe. These perfect clusters of sweet granola are a simple way to add a touch of whimsy to your morning!
Ingredients
- Two and a half (500 g) cups of oats
- One cup (227 g) of butter or coconut oil
- 1/2-1 cup of lavender infused honey or 1/2 cup lavender simple syrup (depends on your sweet preference)
- 1 teaspoon of sea salt
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, line a baking sheet with silicone baking matt (preferred) or parchment paper
In a large bowl, add two cups of oats and set aside
Melt your butter
Add in your honey and and salt to your melted butter and mix well
Pour your melted butter + honey over the oats.
Pour the bowl of oats onto your lined baking sheet
Make sure it's distributed evenly amongst the baking sheet and press down so it's compact as possible. I usually take a cutting board, place it over the top, and step on it or press it down as much as I possibly can.
Place in oven and bake for 30 minutes
Once done, turn oven off but keep oats in the oven for another ten minutes.
Remove from oven but do not touch. Leave them for at least a few hours, overnight is best. This allows them to harden and will give you the next large clusters of granola you want.
Once completely cooled, you can lift from baking sheet.
Mix in your dried blueberries if desired.
Notes
Store granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.

As soon as I was done photographing this granola, I was so excited to enjoy it with some tea this afternoon. Despite lavender seeming like a “grown up” acquired taste, both of my children really enjoyed this recipe! We enjoyed clusters as we played a memory game this afternoon. And now that we’re back to school after a break, having some granola on hand makes snack time a breeze.

[…] morning. I add it to my Lavender iced coffee. I even often enjoy it for breakfast in my Lavender and blueberry honey granola recipe by recipes and rituals. Basically, it only makes sense for me to surround myself with the scent of lavender as […]
