Cherry Almond Granola

Cherry Almond Granola
4 c regular rolled oats
1 cup chopped almonds
1 c uncooked millet
1 c dried cherries
4 T ground flax seed
2 T chia seed
1/2 c coconut sugar (or sucanut)
1 1/2 t sea salt
1 t cinnamon
1/2 t cardamom (optional)
dried coconut (optional)
pumpkin seeds (optional)

4 heaping T applesauce
1/2 c raw honey
6 T nut butter (peanut, almond, sunflower, etc.)
2 heaping spoonfuls coconut oil
2 t vanilla extract
1 t almond extract

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line 1 baking sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl combine dry ingredients until well combined. In a microwaveable glass dish combine wet ingredients-MINUS THE EXTRACTS!. Microwave for 1-2 minutes and stir until well combined. Pour in extracts and stir again. Pour over dry ingredients and stir well until evenly coated. Scott onto baking sheets and bake for 40-50 minutes, stirring halfway through. Allow to cool before putting it into airtight container. It will still be a little bit wet, but will harden up as it cools.

This is delicious with almond milk and fresh fruit. We also eat it over vanilla goat yogurt, too! For most of us...this is our favorite!
Enjoy!
