Homemade granola is so much better than pre-packaged. Bake up a batch of Merry Almond Cherry Berry Granola for your own breakfast bowls and to package as gifts!

Ingredients

6 c. old-fashioned oats
2 c. shredded sweetened coconut
3 c. sliced almonds
⅓ c. brown sugar
1 T. cinnamon
1 tsp. kosher salt
¼ tsp. nutmeg
¾ c. coconut oil melted
1.5 c. pure maple syrup
1 tsp. pure almond extract
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1 c. dried wild blueberries I like the ones from Trader Joe’s.
1 c. dried cherries I like Trader Joe’s dried “dark sweet cherries”.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 300° F. Spray two large rimmed baking sheets lightly with cooking spray and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine oats, coconut, almonds, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg. In a medium bowl, whisk together coconut oil, maple syrup, almond extract, and vanilla extract. Pour liquid mixture over dry mixture and fold until evenly coated.
Divide mixture between the two prepared pans and spread out evenly. Bake for about 40 minutes, or until granola is nicely browned. Stir every 10 minutes, rotating pans on oven racks each time.
Let cool completely, then stir in blueberries and cherries. Store in airtight container.

Notes

Note: This recipe makes a large batch and can easily be cut in half.
