1 1/4cupssemi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate chips
1 1/4cupsdried cherries
1 1/4 cupsdried blueberries
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees. Line a large, rimmed, baking sheet pan with foil or parchment for easy cleanup.
In a large bowl, add the coconut, nuts, oats, brown sugar and salt. Combine thoroughly.
Stir the maple syrup and oil in a 1-cup measuring cup. Pour over the oat mixture. Stir well to thoroughly coat all the ingredients.
Scrape the granola onto the sheet and spread evenly to the edges.
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. The granola will seem very moist until about the last 2 stirs.
Remove the pan from the oven. If you lined your sheet, you can just lift the foil or parchment and place on a rack for the granola to completely cool. Or, leave it on the pan and stir every once in a while until completely cooled. If you didn’t line your baking sheet, scrape the granola onto a piece of wax paper or parchment to finish cooling completely.
Once cooled, pour into a large zip-top baggie or an airtight container. Add the chocolate chips, dried cherries and blueberries. Toss well and serve.
The granola will keep for up to 2 weeks.
