HAZELNUT-PISTACHIO GRANOLA WITH DRIED CHERRIES AND CANDIED GINGER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
• To a small saucepan over medium-low heat, add the maple syrup, vegetable oil, butter, and cinnamon. Stir occasionally until butter is melted and ingredients are combined. Stir in the cinnamon
• In a large bowl, toss together the rolled oats, pistachios, hazelnuts, and coconut.
• Pour the maple syrup mixture over the oats and nuts, and with a wooden spoon, toss until evenly coated.
• Line a large rimmed cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
• Spread granola on cookie sheets and bake for 30-40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until the granola turns golden brown.
• Let cool, then mix in the dried fruit.
• Store in an airtight container (it should keep for up to a month at room temperature).

ROASTED HAZELNUT GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• To make the granola, toss the hazelnuts, cashews, oatmeal, almonds, coconut, oil, and honey together in a large bowl until they are completely combined. Pour onto a sheet pan and bake, stirring occasionally with a metal spatula, until the mixture turns an even golden brown, about 20 minutes.

FRUIT AND NUT MILK CHOCOLATE GRANOLA CLUSTERS

Steps:

• Line a mini muffin tin with mini (1 1/4-inch) cupcake/candy liners, or set them on a baking sheet or other rigid surface. Set aside.
• Fill a medium saucepan with about an inch of water and put over high heat. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and set a double boiler or metal bowl on top of the pan. Pour the chocolate chips in the bowl and stir constantly just until melted. Remove from heat.
• Pour two cups of granola into the chocolate and stir until coated.
• Using two spoons or a cookie scoop, scoop melted chocolate and granola mixture by the tablespoonful into liners. Sprinkle with granola (I try to include a nut and a piece of fruit on top of each one to help people know what to expect when they bite into one).
• Let sit at room temperature for about 2 hours, or until hard.
• Clusters keep at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
