Homemade Granola
To give me an alternative to oatmeal some mornings. I hear this is good stuff with greek yogurt and fresh fruit. Here's hoping. Recipe from Foodnetwork.com
Cherry, Almond and Cinnamon Granola
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 honey
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 325 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.
