I love all of the Safe + Fair granolas, but I really puffy heart the blueberry cinnamon. So good. I was thinking of a different kind of “brunch” pizza I could make with the granola – but I had to make it sweet and savory because that’s my jam. 😀
For two pizzettes, as I am calling them, I used 1/3 cup of the granola. WW peeps, the granola is 5 points per 1/3 cup, but only 130 calories. Just eat it – you’ll love it, promise. 😀 I pulsed it in my food processor just until the bigger chunks were gone.
I decided after the pizza came out that I’d make a blueberry very berry sauce – but this time, I used lemon and ginger seltzer! Game changer!
I thought I took a picture of it, but the seltzer was from Trader Joe’s. I thought the lemon and ginger was a bit too gingery to drink by itself, but in this very berry sauce, it sings. I did add a splash of diet lemonade to mine and that was delicious. I bet vodka would be great too – ha!
I’ve had people send me their very berry sauce like it looks below and ask “Biz, what did I do wrong?” Nothing! It looks like that until it starts to cook down – it literally only takes about 5 minutes – 7 minutes if you use frozen fruit. Once cooled it can stay in your fridge for up to a week.
I did my first pizzette on Tuesday night, with cream cheese/mozzarella/very berry sauce and spinach. While good – I thought I needed a bit more balance in the sweet/savory department.
At lunch I stopped and picked up goat cheese, basil and . . . wait for it, wait for it . . . BLUE CHEESE! I know some of you just threw up in your mouth a bit, but trust me – the balance of all the flavors works!
I used 2 points of the granola (about 2 tablespoons) in two ounces of my skinny pizza dough. I addd 14 grams of goat cheese (1 point).
Then topped it with an ounce of Trader Joe’s lite mozzarella (1).
I baked the pizzette on a regular cookie sheet for 12 minutes. I let cool for a couple minutes before adding the very berry sauce, basil and blue cheese.
Guys. This is so good! Crispy crust, slightly sweet with just a hint of cinnamon. Then the super fresh berry sauce paired so well with the salty cheese and that bite of blue cheese and fresh basil brought this all together. #swoon
My friends at Safe + Fair have extended my discount code this month – 25% off the granola (and all their other goodies!) + free shipping! Just use the discount code Biz25 – and this works for existing customers, not just new ones – whoop!
Should I post one more picture? Um, okay! You’re welcome. 😀
My mouth is literally watering as I type this!
Perfect crust too 😀 And that is on a regular cookie sheet – not a baking steel.
Show of hands how many of you would love this granola?

The best part as that this is the perfect meal prep breakfast or brunch. Both my skinny pizza dough and the best gluten free dough are best when they have been sitting in the fridge for a few days.
Side note: The first night I added the granola fresh to the dough and it was so crispy. Last night the dough I used had the granola in it already and it sat in the fridge overnight – and while delicious, the crust didn’t get crispy – so I suggest adding the granola right before baking for the perfect crust. 😀
Maybe I’ll have Hannah make these for me for Mother’s Day. 😀
Happy Thursday friends – please tag me @mybizzykitchen on Instagram if you make this – I love to see your creations!
Make it a great day!
Hi Biz, How many points?
Sorry! I fixed it – 4 points as written, or 2 points without the chocolate chips – thanks! 😀
I just reread the post and saw that you did use cream cheese the first night – I will do that. Thank you for creating such delicious recipes. I am amazed at how committed you are to cooking after your work day and commute.
Hey Ellen! Thank you! Yep, my kitchen is my happy place, so I look forward to it all day – no matter what time I get home.
You can use any flavor seltzer in the very berry sauce – even your stores generic, I just happened to have that one on hand. Someone used a dark cherry seltzer – doesn’t that sound good?! Thanks for following! Hugs, Biz
I love everything about this (just happened to send a safe & fair order in early this week and thankfully got this granola on your recommendation!) except for the goat cheese..can’t make myself fall for it – is it necessary? Possibly a cream cheese layer if it is? Have been craving this ever since I saw you make it the first night..and then when you added the blue cheese and basil…oh yeah.
The seltzer will be an issue for me as well – closest Trader Joe’s is a three hour drive. Maybe another brand has a similar taste profile.
I look forward to your posts everyday- you are so funny and post like you are talking to a friend! BTW- thanks for the alouette cheese shout out from walmart- it was so much more expensive in my local grocery store as well! Thanks for all of your posts and work- it is very enjoyable and inspiring!!:)
Thank you! Yep, Alouette is the cheapest at Walmart – at my regular store its with the fancy cheese and is $5.99!
I can’t print the recipe. When I hit the print recipe above the name where it should just print out the one maybe 2 sheets of ingredients and instructions it just takes me back up to the top. The print button at the very bottom does let me print everything for the entire blog on this recipe 12 pages. Can you see if this can be fixed I’m so looking forward to this recipe tho!
Gah, sorry Kendra! Let me see if I can fix that soon – thanks for letting me know!
Best, Biz
