Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine the oats and nuts in a large bowl. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the sugar, oil, vanilla, salt and 1/4 cup water. Pour the liquid mixture over the oat mixture and stir until combined. Pour onto two baking sheets and spread evenly. Bake until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes, stirring halfway through.
• Pour the cooked oat mixture into a bowl and stir in the raisins and cherries. Let cool. The granola will keep in an airtight container at room temperature in a cool, dry place for up to 3 weeks.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300°F. Lightly coat a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with cooking spray. Add oats, wheat germ, and walnuts, stirring to combine. Spread in an even layer and toast until mixture is lightly browned, about 25 minutes, stirring halfway through. Remove from oven.
• Raise oven temperature to 350°F. Stir together apple juice, brown sugar, and oil. Pour over oat mixture; stir to combine, and spread evenly in pan. Bake until oats are crisp, about 30 minutes, stirring halfway through.
• Let cool in pan, about 25 minutes; toss with dried fruit. Granola can be stored up to 1 month in the refrigerator in an air-tight container.
• Wholesome Addition
• Apple juice adds sweetness and allows you to cut back on the usual amount of sugar. Because juice from frozen concentrate is thicker than bottled juice, it makes a better coating for the granola, helping it crisp in the oven without requiring much oil.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300°F Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with vegetable spray.
• Combine the oats, flour, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, oil, orange juice, maple syrup and nuts in a mixing bowl. Place on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 35 minutes, tossing once to prevent burning. Add the dried fruit.
• Store in airtight containers for up to 1 month.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan gas 4. Line a large baking sheet with baking parchment to prevent the granola from sticking. Put all of the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Whisk together the almond extract, vegetable oil and maple syrup in a jug, then pour into the bowl with the dry ingredients.
• Mix together well, making sure that all the dry ingredients are well coated and that there are no dry bits. Tip the mixture onto the lined baking sheet and spread out in an even layer. Cook for about 25-30 mins until golden. You will need to give the mixture a few turns every 8-10 mins to make sure it dries out evenly and doesn't clump together too much. Keep an eye on it as nuts can burn easily.
• Remove from the oven and leave to cool completely on the tray. Break up any large clumps of granola with a wooden spoon. Will keep for up to one month in an airtight container. Serve with milk or yogurt, and fresh seasonal fruit, if you like.

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet.
• Pour the oats into a large bowl. Add almonds, cinnamon, cocoa powder, salt, brown sugar, and dried fruit into the oats respectively, stirring each into the mixture before adding the next.
• Mix maple syrup and vanilla extract together in a small bowl. With a rubber spatula, add the maple syrup-vanilla mixture to your dry ingredients. Fold the two together until mixed and all dry ingredients are well coated.
• Bake in preheated oven for about 20 minutes, stir, and continue baking until golden brown, about 25 minutes more. Set aside to cool slightly, about 20 minutes.
• Gently fold chocolate chips into the granola mixture, allowing the chocolate to coat the granola as it melts slightly. Cool completely before storing.
