1

Preheat the oven and gather the ingredients

First things first, preheat your oven to 325°F (162°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Now, let's gather all our ingredients to make this magical granola: 2 cups of almond flour, 1/4 cup of coconut flour, 1/4 cup of melted coconut oil, 1/4 cup of maple syrup, 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon zest, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 cup of unsweetened shredded coconut, 1/2 cup of chopped almonds, and 1/2 cup of dried blueberries.

2

Mix the dry ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, shredded coconut, chopped almonds, dried blueberries, lemon zest, and salt. Give it a good mix so that everything is evenly distributed.

3

Add the wet ingredients

Now, pour in the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir well until all the dry ingredients are coated and the mixture becomes like a crumbly dough. It should hold together when pressed between your fingers.

4

Spread the mixture and bake

Transfer the granola mixture onto the lined baking sheet and spread it out evenly. Press down gently to create a compact layer. Pop it into the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and fragrant.

5

Let it cool and break it apart

Once your granola is beautifully golden and smelling absolutely heavenly, take it out of the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. As it cools, it will become crispy and crunchy. Once cooled, break it apart into delicious clusters of grain-free goodness.

Store and enjoy

Now that you've made this mouthwatering zesty lemon blueberry grain-free granola, store it in an airtight container to keep it fresh and crunchy. Enjoy it for a delightful breakfast with a splash of milk or sprinkle it over yogurt for a nutritious snack.
