Chocolate Cherry Granola

Ingredients

• 4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1½ cups whole almonds
• ¼ cup cocoa powder
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil or olive oil
• 2 large egg whites
• 2 teaspoons Sweet’N Low 8oz. Box or 10 packets of Sweet’N Low
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup dried cherries

Preparation

Preheat oven to 325℉.

In a large bowl stir to combine oats, almonds, cocoa powder, cinnamon, and salt. In a separate bowl whisk together oil, egg whites, Sweet’N Low, and vanilla. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir to coat.

Divide oat mixture between 2 large baking sheets, spreading out in a thin layer.

Bake, stirring every 15 minutes, until browned, about 45 minutes. Let cool completely on baking sheets, then transfer to a bowl and stir in dried cherries. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
