Makes 3 cups
Notes: You can substitute the cherries and hazelnuts for any of your favorite dried fruit and nuts. Also, orange juice can be substituted with apple, grape, or cranberry juice.
INGREDIENTS
1/4 cup honey
2 tbsp orange juice
2 tbsp canola oil
1 tbsp vanilla
1 cup old fashioned oats
1 cups rolled oats
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup hazelnuts, chopped
1/2 cup coconut flakes
1/2 cup dried cherries
Preheat the oven to 300ºF.
In a small bowl, whisk the honey, orange juice, canola oil, and vanilla.
In a large bowl, combine the oats and salt. Add the wet to the dry and combine.
Layer a baking sheet with parchment paper. With your hands, grab handfuls of the granola and squeeze tight. Drop the clumps onto the baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet into the oven and bake for 25 minutes.
Remove and add the hazelnuts. Continue to bake for 15 - 20 more minutes or until the granola becomes golden brown. Remove from the oven and combine with the coconut flakes and dried cherries. Let cool.
Store in an airtight container for up to a month. Make sure to let cool completely before storing.
