Homemade Granola Mikes Coconut Amond Mix Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a saucepan over medium heat, combine coconut oil, olive oil, maple syrup, sugar, coconut milk and salt and bring to a simmer. When sugar has dissolved, stir in vanilla extract and let cool slightly.
• In a food processor, grind 1 1/4 cups/105 grams of the oats and 1/4 cup/12 grams of the coconut into a flour. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in remaining oats and coconut, the spices, the nuts and the seeds. Pour maple syrup mixture over and stir to combine. Let sit 10 minutes.
• Using your hands, drop oat mixture onto prepared baking sheets in one layer, and pinch together into clumps with your fingers.
• Bake 40 to 50 minutes, flipping the mixture (taking care not to break up the clumps) every 15 minutes. The mixture is done when it's golden brown all over and starting to crisp. It will continue to crisp up after as it cools. Transfer pans to wire racks and let cool. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 month.

Steps:

• In a 1 cup pyrex measuring cup combine first 6 ingredients. In a large bowl combine remaining ingredients except dried cherries (those go in after cooking). Stir to evenly distribute nuts and granola. Drizzle honey mixture overs this and stir with a rubber spatula. Mix for about 5 minutes or until oats and nuts are evenly coated and "wet". Spread out onto cooking sheet. Bake for about 90 minutes at 250 degrees. Granola will still be soft when you remove it. Spread out cherries over the top. Cool for minimum 30 minutes. Granola crips up as it cools so this cooling time is essential. Break up and transfer into airtight containers or gallon ziploc bag. Be prepared to enjoy the most heavenly smell in your house all day long. I enjoy granola with milk or in a yogurt parfait with plain Greek yogurt and fresh or frozen defrosted berries.
