Cherry and Almond Granola Recipe - Healthy and easy!

It’s so exciting to be moved in and all unpacked in our San Francisco apartment! We are in the Outer Sunset neighborhood, which is right next to Golden Gate Park, but definitely off of the tourist beaten path. For us, it’s the perfect location – close to the hospital for me, access to the best trail running in the city just a few blocks away, less than a mile from the ocean (squee!), and quiet at night with tons of street parking!

This cherry and almond granola recipe is the first official recipe that I have made in our new kitchen – which is huge and filled with amazing modern appliances and lots of counter space, by the way! I love making my own granola – it’s so versatile and you can tweak any granola recipe easily based on what is in your pantry. I used cherries and almonds, but you could just as easily do blueberries, or raisins, or apricots, or pecans…

One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned making granola recipes is to not layer it too thick on your baking sheet. This causes the edges to burn and the center to stay soft. When I make granola I will triple or quadruple the recipe (Pat eats mountains of granola with yogurt every day) and it’s always so tempting to try to pile it on a single sheet. Resist the temptation, I tell you!

    This looks fabulous! I love homemade granola, but usually I’m lazy and just buy it at farmer’s market.

    What perfect timing!! My daughter has asked for granola for her lunch the first day of school next week and her next comment was “can you make something new??”
    Well… now I can! Love this recipe!
    I grew up in San Rafael and went to SFSU, I know right were you are living. What a wonderful area… you have me a little homesick.
