Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 300°.

Bake granola, stirring every 10 minutes, until golden brown and dry, 40-45 minutes. Let cool on baking sheet (it will crisp as it cools).

Mix in 1 cup dried cherries or cranberries. DO AHEAD: Granola can be made 2 weeks ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.

Ingredient Info Coconut shavings (chips) are strips of unsweetened coconut and are available at many natural foods stores and some supermarkets.

Sweetener Swap maple syrup or honey for the agave to get a subtle flavor shift.

Bonus If chocolate chips mean your kid will love it, throw ‘em in at the end.

Presentation This granola's great out of hand, but for added protein, serve over low-fat yogurt. Or layer it in a glass with yogurt and fresh fruit.
