Crunchy, sweet, nutty homemade granola that only takes minutes to prepare and will reward you with delicious breakfast and snacks for weeks.
Ingredients
- 3 cups gluten-free rolled oats (you can substitute oats that aren't gluten-free if you prefer)
- ¾ cup unsalted almonds, sliced or slivered (I used raw almonds)
- ¾ cup unsalted cashews, roughly chopped (I used raw cashews)
- ¾ cup shredded coconut, sweetened
- ½ cup sunflower seeds
- 6 tbs light brown sugar
- 6 tbs maple syrup
- 4 tbs extra light olive oil
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ¾ cup golden raisins
- ¾ cup dried cherries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 250 °F.
- Toss the oats, almonds, cashews, coconut, sunflower seeds, brown sugar and salt together in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, olive oil and vanilla extract.
- Add the liquid mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until all the oats and nuts are well coated. Spread onto a sheet pan in one layer. Depending on the size of your pan, you may need to use two sheet pans.
- Bake for approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes or until the mixture turns an even golden brown color. Stir three to four times during baking to achieve an even color.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool to room temperature. Mix in the raisins and dried cherries. Store in an airtight container.
