Cherry, Almond, Cinnamon Granola

[Ashley0802]

This is really good! & makes good little side gifts for the Holidays.

 

Ingredients

4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

2 cups sweetened, shredded coconut

2 cups sliced almonds

1 1/2 cups dried cherries, chopped

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1/3 cup good honey

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 vegetable 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.

 

Remove the granola from the oven and allow to cool, stirring occasionally. Store the cooled granola in an airtight container.

oh yeah.. it does cook a little more when it comes out of the oven, so take it out a few minutes early.
