Cherry Almond Granola

This is my favorite granola recipe! I have made it many, many times over the last 3 or 4 years. I had the day off with the boys today, so I decided to make a batch. Goes great with yogurt, and really great on vanilla ice cream!

Barefoot Contessa's Cherry Almond Granola- this is a modified version of the original.

Oven- 350 F

3 Cups Rolled Oats (not instant)

1 Cup Slivered Almonds

1 Cup Coconut

1 tsp cinnamon

2-3 tbs honey

1-3 tbs canola oil (you may or may not need this much. Ina calls for 1/3 cup- way too much)

1 cup dried cherries, cut into small pieces

Mix up all the dry ingredients into a large bowl. Add the cinnamon and mix into dried stuff.

Add honey and oil, mix again

Spread out into one layer on a large sheet pan

Bake for about 10 minutes- stirring occasionally

Add the cherries to the mix, and bake again for about 5-8 more minutes.

Let cool thoroughly and enjoy!!
