Toasted Granola




Do you ever crave something sweet with a little crunch to it, and then regret eating it because of how unhealthy it is? Well, here is the perfect solution: a healthy, yet scrumptious snack to make your plain yogurt a tasty new treat!






INGREDIENTS
- 4 cups rolled oats
- 2 cups shredded coconut
- 1 1/2 cups sliced almonds
- 1 1/2 cups dried cherries (or blueberries)
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/3+ cup honey
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon

DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 350F.

2. Toss the oats, coconut, almonds, and cherries together in a large bowl. 

3. In a small bowl combine oil, honey, and cinnamon. Stir into oat mixture until completely coated, then spread on cookie sheet evenly.

4. Bake, giving the granola a stir every 5 minutes or so until it turns a lovely golden brown, about 20 minutes. 

5. Let cool completely, and then indulge yourself in one of the most basic, yet delicious recipes ever created!
