Maple Granola with Cherries & Walnuts
Nothing tastes better than homemade granola! Note that this granola is quite sweet. If you prefer a less sweet granola, reduce the brown sugar and maple syrup by half.

Servings: 12
- 2 cup(s) rolled oats (gluten-free if preferred)
- 1/2 cup(s) walnuts roughly chopped
- 1 teaspoon(s) cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup(s) coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup(s) dried cherries
- Optional to serve with Maple Granola with Cherries & Walnuts: plant-based milk, plant-based yogurt, fresh fruit or berries.
Preheat the oven to 300F (150C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large bowl, combine the oats, walnuts, cinnamon and salt. Set aside.
Place the brown sugar, maple syrup, coconut oil and vanilla extract into a small pot and place over medium heat. Stir and melt the mixture until smooth.
Pour the hot mixture over the oats and stir well until combined. Spread the oats out on the baking sheet and bake in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, until golden. Stir twice throughout the cooking time to break the granola up a little. Remove the oven and let coo completely.
Once cool, stir through the dried cherries. Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
Dried cherry substitutes: raisins, dried blueberries, or craisins.
Walnut substitutes: pecans, almonds, or pepitas.
