Chocolate Cherry Nut Granola

This sweet and crunchy chocolate cherry granola is great as a breakfast cereal
with milk (or your favorite milk alternative), layered in yogurt parfaits or
sprinkled on your smoothie bowls or ice cream sundaes. Or just eat it by the
handful as a snack or trail food!

It keeps well for weeks in a tightly sealed jar, or vacuum seal and freeze it
for longer storage.

Instructions

1 Preheat the oven to 300℉ and line two half-sheet pans with parchment or silicone
baking liners (you can also butter the pans lightly if you don't have those).
Put the baking racks as close to the center of the oven as you can.
2 In a small to medium saucepan, gently melt the butter or coconut oil along with
the maple syrup and brown sugar. Stir as the butter melts, and add the salt and
cocoa powder. Let cool slightly, then stir in the vanilla and almond extracts.
3 In a large bowl, whisk the egg white lightly until frothy, and fold in the
rolled oats and nuts. Mix well, then pour the melted butter or oil and honey
mixture over the top. Keep folding and mixing this until it is uniformly
distributed and all the oats and nuts are coated.
4 Divide the mix between two pans and spread it out in a uniform layer so that it
will bake evenly, and place in the preheated oven. Set a timer for 15 minutes to
rotate the pans on the oven racks so that they bake evenly (you can also stir
the granola in the pans if the outside is browning faster).
5 Bake at 300℉ for 35-45 minutes total. The granola should be lightly toasted and
relatively dry and not sticky (though it will set up more as it cools). If it
hasn't set up yet, bake it a little longer, but watch to make sure it doesn't
burn!
6 Sprinkle the dried cherries evenly over the pans of toasted granola. Once the
mixture has cooled completely, add the chocolate chips, mix, and transfer it to
airtight containers for storage.
