If you chop up the granola in a food processor, you can sprinkle it on fruit or ice cream or dip ice pops into it.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    6 cups

Ingredients

2

cups old-fashioned oats

1

cup pecans, chopped

1

cup pumpkin seeds (pepitas)

1

cup unsweetened coconut shavings

½

cup golden flaxseed

½

cup sliced almonds

½

cup toasted wheat germ

¾

cup pure maple syrup

cup light brown sugar

3

tablespoons virgin coconut oil

teaspoons vanilla extract

½

teaspoon kosher salt

1

cup dried sour cherries

Greek or non-dairy yogurt and berries or sliced fresh fruit (for serving)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 375°. Toss oats, pecans, pumpkin seeds, coconut, flaxseed, and almonds on a rimmed baking sheet. Toast, stirring occasionally, until coconut is lightly golden brown, 10–15 minutes.

    Step 2

    Reduce oven temperature to 300°. Transfer oat mixture to a large bowl and stir in wheat germ. Bring maple syrup, brown sugar, coconut oil, vanilla, and salt to a boil in a small saucepan and cook, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves, about 4 minutes. Pour over oat mixture and stir until coated. Spread onto another rimmed baking sheet and bake until deep golden brown, 25–35 minutes. Toss cherries into warm granola and let cool. Transfer to a large bowl or platter and serve with yogurt and fruit.

    Step 3

    Do Ahead: Granola can be made 3 weeks ahead. Store in an airtight container.

  • Made a few modifications, but it’s great. I subbed dried cranberries for the cherries, left out the brown sugar because I didn’t think it needed that much sweetness, I left out the almonds because I didn’t have any, and skipped the boiling step after the first stint in the oven. Would make again with the same modifications.
