Honey Granola with Cherry & Walnuts

12 servings

10 minute prep; 25 minute cook

Ingredients required:

  • 2 cups (160g) rolled oats
  • 1⁄2 cup (60g) walnuts, chopped 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1⁄2 tsp. salt
  • 1⁄2 cup (90g) coconut sugar
  • 1⁄3 cup (110ml) honey
  • 4 tbsp. coconut oil
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1⁄2 cup (85g) dried cherries

 

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Prepare a baking sheet lined with baking paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the oats, walnuts, cinnamon and salt. Set aside.
  3. Place the coconut sugar, honey, coconut oil and vanilla extract into a small pot and place over a medium heat. Stir and melt the mixture until smooth.
  4. 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.
  5. Remove the sheet from the oven and set aside on a wire rack to cool completely. Once cool, stir through the dried cherries.
  6. Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
