Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Add oil, syrup, and sugar to a small to medium-sized skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture starts to boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low and continue stirring for an additional minute.
  3. Pour the sauce over the oats in a large bowl and toss to coat. Add coconut flakes, pecans, pumpkin seeds, and salt. Stir until well combined.
  4. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.  Spread granola mixture evenly into the pan.
  5. Bake granola in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes. Remove pan from the oven and let sit until it reaches room temperature.
  6. Once it is completely cooled, break apart the granola into large pieces and mix in the dried cherries.  Enjoy!

Notes

  • To Prep-Ahead: Because this granola lasts on the counter for a couple of weeks, you can easily make it days before you need it.
  • To Store: It can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
  • To Freeze: I would not recommend refrigerating it or freezing it.  The taste and texture will be greatly affected.
