- 1/2 cup whole almonds chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1/4 cup honey

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300° F. and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat mat.
- In a large bowl combine the oats, almonds, salt, cinnamon, and brown sugar, stirring until everything is combined. In a small bowl whisk together the coconut oil, honey, 2 teaspoons of almond extract, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet mixture in with the dry and stir everything together with a rubber spatula until it is coated.
- Pour the granola out onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it out into a single layer. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the granola from the oven and toss it around with a spatula so that it browns evenly.

- While the granola is baking place the dried blueberries in a small bowl with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract and toss them together. When the granola is done baking remove it from the oven and stir in the dried blueberries.
- Let the granola cool completely before storing it in an airtight container.
