ALMOND MAPLE COCONUT GRANOLA
After trying many granola recipes that just had way too much sugar and oil, I sought out to make my own. This recipe is still sweet and tasty without the loads of sugars and oils. This is also a very large-yielding recipe, as I make it in bulk and store it so I won't have to make it for a while. I hope you enjoy this recipe!

This is my version of a granola recipe I saw on Sarah's Secrets one day. I did make a few changes to suit our taste, but the recipe is basically the same. This is wonderful eaten dry or with milk.

CHERRY-ALMOND COCONUT GRANOLA
Steps:
- 1. Heat the oven to 275 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Sprinkle the coconut in a single layer on the parchment paper and toast just until some of the edges of the coconut begin to color but the coconut is still mostly white, 3 to 7 minutes (timing will vary depending on how finely the coconut is shredded). Remove and set aside to cool (leave the parchment paper on the baking sheet). 2. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large pot over low heat. Stir in the honey, vanilla and salt, then stir in the oats, almonds and sesame seeds. Add the brown sugar and stir gently until everything is completely combined. Transfer the granola to the parchment-lined baking sheet, breaking up any clumps so the granola is spread out in a single layer. 3. Toast the granola, stirring every 15 to 20 minutes, until the mixture is golden brown, about 40 to 60 minutes. Remove the tray and set aside to cool, then transfer the granola to a large bowl. Add the toasted coconut and cherries, stirring well to combine.

CASHEW, ALMOND, COCONUT GRANOLA!
This is so great...why buy someone else's granola when you can bake up this tasty dish...and it is really easy to put together. I like chopped dates for the fruit, but raisins or dried cranberries would also be tasty!

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients. Fresh almonds, coconut flakes, and oats will give your granola the best flavor and texture.
- Toast the oats and nuts. Toasting the oats and nuts before adding them to the granola will help them to brown and crisp up, giving the granola a more complex flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. When you spread the granola out on the baking sheet, make sure to leave some space between the clusters. This will help the granola to cook evenly.
- Bake the granola until it is golden brown. The granola is done baking when it is golden brown and crispy. Be careful not to overbake it, or it will become dry and hard.
- Let the granola cool completely before storing it. This will help the granola to crisp up and make it easier to store.
Conclusion:
Almond coconut granola is a delicious, healthy snack that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. It is also a great way to use up leftover almonds and coconut flakes. With its sweet and nutty flavor, this granola is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
