Maple Granola with Cherries & Walnuts

Nothing tastes better than homemade granola! Note that this granola is quite sweet. If you prefer a less sweet granola, reduce the brown sugar and maple syrup by half.

Instructions
  • Preheat the oven to 300F (150C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  • In a large bowl, combine the oats, walnuts, cinnamon and salt. Set aside.
  • Place the brown sugar, maple syrup, coconut oil and vanilla extract into a small pot and place over medium heat. Stir and melt the mixture until smooth.
  • Pour the hot mixture over the oats and stir well until combined. Spread the oats out on the baking sheet and bake in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, until golden. Stir twice throughout the cooking time to break the granola up a little. Remove the oven and let coo completely.
  • Once cool, stir through the dried cherries. Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
