Servings: persons

3 cups Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
1 cup Raw Almonds
3/4 cups Shredded Sweetened Coconut
1-1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
1-1/2 Tablespoon Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
1/4 teaspoons Kosher Salt
1/4 cups Light And Fruity Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/4 cups Light Brown Sugar
1/4 cups Honey
1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
1 cup Dried Cherries

1
Place rack in the center upper third of your oven and preheat to 300 F. Line a 9x13 inch rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a large bowl, stir together the oats, almonds, coconut, cinnamon, cocoa powder, and salt. Set aside.
3
In a medium saucepan, combine the olive oil, light brown sugar, and honey. Stir over medium heat, until sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to bubble. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
4
Pour the warm olive oil mixture over the oat mixture. With a wooden spoon, gently scoop and fold, coating the oats and nuts, until fairly evenly moistened. Spoon the mixture in an even layer onto the prepared baking sheet, press down gently with the back of a wooden spoon, then place in oven.
5
Bake for 30 minutes, removing pan from oven and stirring once every 10 minutes. When finished baking, granola will be slightly toasted around the edges and smell amazing.
6
Remove from the oven and let granola cool completely. Toss in dried cherries. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks or in the refrigerator for 1 month.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
