How To Make easy granola

• 1

  Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
• 2

  In a large bowl, add oats, coconut, sunflower seeds, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg. Then mix until well combined.
• 3

  In a different microwave-safe bowl (or on the stovetop), combine the maple syrup, butter, and brown sugar. Microwave until melted and smooth. Once melted, add the vanilla and stir to combine.
• 4

  Add the butter mixture to the oat mixture and stir to coat the oats well.
• 5

  Spread the granola on a cooking oil-sprayed cookie sheet and bake 35-40 minutes; stirring a few times to make sure all parts get browned. It's done when the granola is all evenly browned.

  After removing the cookie sheet from the oven, you can stir in the dried cherries (or blueberries). Let cool. Store in an airtight container.
