Directions

Heat a spoonful of canola oil in a large saute pan. Add 2 cups (500 mL) of old fashioned oats, and 1⁄3 cup (75 mL) each of shredded coconut and chopped nuts. Cook and stir for 4–6 minutes, then remove from the pan.
Add ¼ cup (60 mL) of honey, 2 tbsp (30 mL) of brown sugar, and ½ tsp (2 mL) of cinnamon to the pan. Cook and stir for 1 minute, or until it bubbles and is thick. Add the oats back to the pan and stir until coated. Stir in 1⁄3 cup (75 mL) of dried cherries and transfer to a sheet pan to cool.

Cook's Tips:

Serve as a breakfast cereal, snack or use it to top yogurt or fresh fruit. Or, try a “smoothie breakfast bowl,” a fruit-packed smoothie topped with granola!

Change the flavor of your granola!

Try using coconut oil, olive oil or butter in place of canola oil.
Try pecans, almonds, cashews, walnuts, pepitas, or sunflower seeds.
Use agave or maple syrup in place of the honey.
Dried cherries can be swapped for your favorite dried fruit like raisins or cranberries.
