Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup wheat germ
1/4 cup firmly-packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup raw sunflower seeds
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup light-flavored oil ((such as canola or grapeseed))
1/2 cup honey
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup whole raw almonds
1/2 cup unsweetened flaked coconut
1 cup dried cherries

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Line a half sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, stir together oats, wheat germ, brown sugar, sunflower seeds, cinnamon, and kosher salt until combined. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl (or a liquid measuring cup), whisk together oil, honey, and vanilla until smooth. Pour over oat mixture and stir until evenly combined. Fold in almonds and coconut.
  • Spread granola in an even layer onto prepared sheet pan. Bake 40-45 minutes until golden brown, flipping the granola with a spatula after 20 minutes and rotating the pan in the oven for even baking. Keep a close eye during the last 10 minutes of baking, as the granola can go from toasted to burned (especially in the corners) quickly.
  • Remove from the oven and immediately fold dried cherries into the granola on the sheet pan. Re-spread granola into an even layer and let cool to room temperature. Break up granola, leaving some small clumps, if desired.

CHERRY-ALMOND GRANOLA CRISP



Cherry-Almond Granola Crisp image

For all the cobbler and crisp lovers, here's a simple dish that you can eat for breakfast or dessert. Chewy clusters of almonds and oats brown in the oven after getting coated in a nutty and floral browned-butter honey syrup. While the granola clusters caramelize, the bed of sweet cherries they rest over turns tender and juicy. Warm out of the oven, this crisp belongs in a bowl with your favorite yogurt, some of the warm cherry sauce drizzled over top, and maybe even a good shaving of dark chocolate or orange zest, if you have some.

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 pound/225 grams sweet cherries, halved and pitted (about 1 1/4 packed cups)
1/3 cup/115 milliliters honey
4 tablespoons/60 grams unsalted butter (1/2 stick)
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup/100 grams sliced almonds
1/2 cup/50 grams rolled oats
Yogurt, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spread out the cherry halves in the bottom of an 8-inch square (or 9-inch round) baking dish. Set aside.
  • In a small saucepan, add the honey, butter and salt. Bring to a foaming boil over medium heat, then cook 3 to 4 minutes until the honey thickens, stirring often so it never burns. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla - it will spatter slightly - then fold in the almonds and oats, continuing to stir until the oats absorb all the honey syrup.
  • Drop spoonfuls of the mixture across the cherries, and bake for 22 to 25 minutes or until the almonds are almost a mahogany brown and the cherries are tender and juicy. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes, so the granola hardens slightly, then serve with yogurt.

Tips:

  • Choose the right oats. Rolled oats are the best choice for granola because they hold their shape well and get crispy when baked. Avoid using instant or steel-cut oats, as they will not produce the same texture.
  • Use a variety of nuts and seeds. This will add flavor, texture, and nutritional value to your granola. Some good options include almonds, walnuts, pecans, sunflower seeds, and chia seeds.
  • Don't skimp on the fat. Fat is essential for a crispy granola. Use a combination of butter, oil, and honey to create a rich and flavorful granola.
  • Bake the granola at a low temperature. This will help to prevent the granola from burning and will allow it to develop a nice, nutty flavor.
  • Let the granola cool completely before storing it. This will help to prevent the granola from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

Cherry Almond and Cinnamon Granola is a delicious and healthy breakfast or snack. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its sweet and nutty flavor, this granola is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast or snack, give Cherry Almond and Cinnamon Granola a try. You won't be disappointed!
