Cherry Coconut Granola is a delicious and easy homemade granola recipe. It is an affordable and tasty recipe to make at home.
Cherry granola is full of flavor from a few simple ingredients.
What I love about any homemade granola it's versatility. I recommend a few cooking tips based on many batches of granola.
- Use steel-cut oats and not instant or quick-cooking oats, that is just the way it is, quick cooking doesn't work as well
- Mix the wet ingredients and add them to the dry ingredients, granola will coat better
- Use parchment paper on your cookie sheet for easy clean-up. Add a
- Add dried fruit after cooking, adding a nice texture balance
- Use either raw honey, Pure Maple Syrup, or Agave - they are pure and super tasty
- Finally, experiment with different oats, grains, nuts, fruits, and sweeteners - quinoa, chia seeds, pepitas, pecans, walnuts, coconut oil, you get the idea!
- I prefer the oven temperature of 325°F, that is just what works for me
Enjoy granola with almond milk, yogurt parfait, as a mid-morning snack, any way you like your granola.
