Ingredients




2 cups rolled oats
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons tablespoons plus 1  vegetable oil
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/3 cup whole almonds
1/3 cup whole hazelnuts
1/3 cup golden raisins
1/3 cup dried cherries

Preparation

1 Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 2 In a large bowl, toss the oats with the cinnamon and salt. 3 In a medium bowl, stir together the oil, honey, brown sugar, and vanilla. Whisk until completely combined. 4 Pour the honey mixture over the oats mixture and use your hands to combine them: Gather up some of the mixture in each hand and make a fist. Repeat until all of the oats are coated with the honey mixture. 5 Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread it out evenly, but leave a few clumps here and there for texture. 6 Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and use a metal spatula to lift and flip the granola. Sprinkle the almonds over the granola and return the baking sheet to the oven. 7 Bake for 5 minutes, then remove from the oven and use a metal spatula to lift and flip the granola. Sprinkle the hazelnuts over the granola and return the baking sheet to the oven. 8 Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven. Let cool completely. 9 Sprinkle the raisins and cherries over the granola and use your hands to transfer it to an airtight container.
