Cheery Cherry Almond Granola

Mix together in one extra-large bowl, or two large bowls:

• 8 cups rolled oats
• 2 cups sliced almonds
• 1 cup sunflower seeds
• 1/2 cup ground flax

Warm over low heat:

• 2/3 cup canola oil
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1/3 cup brown rice syrup
• Then add 2 T vanilla extract to oil & sugar

Pour oil mixture over oats and mix thoroughly. Divide granola in two separate batches. Bake at 350* for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.

When cool, add approximately 1-2 cups of chopped dried cherries.

Store in an air-tight container to enjoy over cereal, yogurt…or by the handful.
