Photo: Coconut Sour-Cherry Granola Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 3/4 cups organic rolled oats
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1 cup unsalted pistachios
- 1/3 cup unsalted pepitas (hulled green pumpkin seeds)
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt (or 1 1/2 teaspoons fine salt)
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 3/4 cup dried sour cherries
Directions
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Toss the oats, coconut, pistachios, pepitas and salt in a large bowl. Warm the brown sugar, maple syrup and olive oil in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Fold the sugar mixture into the oat mixture to evenly coat.
Spread the granola on the prepared baking sheets and bake, stirring often, until dry and lightly golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and toss with the dried sour cherries. Let cool to room temperature. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 1 month.

This would have been a GREAT recipe but good god, the salt! This was the first time that I ever made granola and so I wanted to follow it as written, but it felt like it should have had a tsp of salt (or less rather than a TBSB. I love the way the maple syrup and olive oil work together, but next time it will be with much less salt.

This is the second granola recipe I tried....super!! Customized to what I had on hand...sunflower seeds and flaxseeds instead of pumpkin seeds, chopped pecans and sliced almonds instead of pistachios, and a combination of sour cherries, dried blueberries, and dried cranberries. I cut back to 1 tsp. of salt, and added 1 tsp. vanilla and about 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon. Now my only dilemma.....share this or keep it all to myself?? Sharing it for sure!!!

This recipe was really easy!!! It is great to serve for a brunch with vanilla yogurt instead of fresh fruit. I then gave it away as a parting gifts from a brunch we had. Everyone loved it.
