Coconut Sour Cherry Granola
This recipe comes from a lady in my home ward, Michelle, who was kind enough to share it with me! She got it from a restaurant in New York, but has tweaked it to make it her own.
I have made both ways, and trust me, Michelle has perfected this recipe! I love it and I think that you will too!!
We almost always DOUBLE or TRIPLE this recipe, because it is that good! And it never makes enough!!
WE LOVE IT!!

How to Make Coconut Sour Cherry Granola
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Toss the oats, coconut, pepitas, and pistachios in a large bowl.
Warm the brown sugar, maple syrup, oil, and salt in a sauce pan until warmed and sugar dissolves.
Fold the sugar mixture into the oat mixture evenly to coat.
Spread granola on the two sheets, dividing equally. Bake, stirring once until golden brown approximately 20-25 minutes. Remove from the oven and stir in the dried cherries, dividing evenly. Let cool and store in an airtight container for up to a week or freeze for up to a month.
To make this into perfect neighbor gifts, scoop the granola into decorative bags, tie off with a cute ribbon, and finish with a label. Add a cute ornament to the tie for a nice personal touch!
