Almond, Dried Cherry & Vanilla Granola
Recipe adapted from bonappetit.com
I love granola and this particular flavour combination is my favourite. It's healthy, light and a little sweet. It makes a great breakfast or anytime snack treat. My favourite way to enjoy this granola is combined with warm milk. Yum! Everyone that has tried this granola falls in love. It's been called addictive and one gentleman called it "Crack Granola"....it's THAT good. Enjoy!
Makes About 8 Cups
Ingredients:
Nonstick vegetable oil spray
4 cups old-fashioned oats
1 1/4 cup sliced almonds
3/4 cup dried cherries
1/2 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup honey
2 tablespoons white sugar
4 teaspoons vanilla extract

1. Position 2 racks in middle of oven and preheat to 300°F. Lightly spray 2 large baking sheets with nonstick spray.

3. Mix together oats, almonds, dried cherries, brown sugar, salt & cinnamon in large bowl.

5. Spread granola on prepared baking sheets. Bake until golden brown, stirring every 10 minutes, about 30 minutes. Transfer sheets to rack; cool completely before breaking up the granola.
6. Store in an air tight container for up to a week.
