I got this recipe from my friend Tracy's Mom. My girls love it mixed with their Greek yogurt or any yogurt. I make it minus the cherries. I hate cherry anything, this is just me though! So the girls don't get the cherries! It is so much better than buying granola. The taste is addicting. Kirra says, "I want my crunchy stuff, Mama, please, please, please!!" They both love it.
Cherry, Almond and Cinnamon Granola
Makes 10 cups
Ingredients
- 4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (oatmeal)
- 2 cups sweetened, shredded coconut
- 2 cups sliced almonds
- 1 1/2 cups dried cherries, chopped
- 1/2 cup safflower oil
- 1/3 cup good honey or maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Toss the oats, coconut, almonds, and cherries together in a large bowl.
Pour the oil and honey over the oat mixture. Add the cinnamon and stir with
a wooden spoon until all the oats and nuts are coated with the liquids.
Pour onto a sheet pan. Bake, stirring occasionally with a spatula, until
the mixture turns a nice, even golden brown, about 25 to 30 minutes. Watch
closely to make sure it doesn't burn.
Remove the granola from the oven and allow to cool, stirring occasionally.
Store the cooled granola in an airtight container.
