GRANOLA

2 beaten egg white
3 cups old-fashioned oats
1 1/2 cups chopped nuts (such as almonds, pistachios, pecans, or walnuts),
1 1/2 cups coconut shavings
1/2 cup Honey
1/4 cup coconut oil warmed
1/4 cup sesame seeds or pumpkin seeds
2 tablespoons (packed) light brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon in a large bowl
1 cup of dried cherries or any dried fruit
Combine all of the of the liquid and nuts first and then toss the rest to combine. Spread out on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

• Bake granola at 300, until golden brown and dry, 40-45 minutes. Let cool on baking sheet (it will crisp as it cools) You can stir during baking but the more you stir the less big chunks.  So I suggest just turning it over once during the baking process
• Store airtight at room temperature, it keeps for 2 weeks...if you don't eat it all first.
