Olive Oil and Brown Sugar Granola, Minus the Grains

Author Notes

This recipe for grain-free granola calls in roughly chopped sliced almonds to adjust the oats. Or no longer it’s adapted from Nekisia Davis’ Olive Oil and Maple Granola, which bigger than 2,000 Food52 users bear in thoughts a fave. Put in thoughts this a template for grain-free granola: Riffing is impressed. Swap out the dried cherries for one more tart dried fruit, like cranberries. Toss in darkish chocolate chips after it cools. The recipe yields about 7 cups, which’ll cruise off of your pantry cupboards very snappily, but that that you would be able to well well also without mumble double or halve it as you would possibly want to. Kept in a jar and embellished with a wire bow, it’d achieve a out of the ordinary holiday—or any day—gift. —Ella Quittner
