Ingredients
- 4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (320 grams)
- 2 cups sweetened shredded coconut (80 grams)
- 2 cups sliced almonds (280 grams)
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil (use up to ½ cup if desired) (75 grams)
- ⅓ cup good honey (112 grams)
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 ½ cups dried cherries (chopped) (210 grams, 7.5 ounces)
Instructions
- Mix together oil, honey, and cinnamon. Add oats, coconut, and almonds; mix to combine.
- Pour onto a baking sheet. Bake at 350F for 25-30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Remove from oven.
- Sprinkle the chopped cherries on the warm granola. Cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
Notes
You can use sweetened, shredded coconut like what you find in the baking aisle, or you can use unsweetened coconut chips. Both work well. Unsweetened coconut chips will make the granola only barely sweet.
Don't toast the cherries, or they may dry out.
