OLIVE OIL GRANOLA WITH DRIED APRICOTS AND PISTACHIOS



Olive Oil Granola With Dried Apricots and Pistachios image

The secret weapon in this addictive granola is, yes, olive oil, which gives the oats and coconut chips a wonderful crispy bite. Make sure to add the fruit after baking (putting it in the oven will dry it out), and feel free to improvise: swap out the apricots for dried cherries, the pistachios for walnuts, the cardamom for a little nutmeg. But double the batch. You won't want to run out.
