Homemade Granola Mike's Coconut Amond Mix

• 12 cup honey
• 14 cup canola oil
• 1 teaspoon almond extract
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 12 teaspoon kosher salt
• 14 cup brown sugar
• 3 cups old fashioned oats
• 1 12 coconut flakes
• 1 cup blanched almond
• 12 cup slivered almonds
• 1 cup whole almond
• 1 cup dried cherries

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