Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh almond pulp left over from making almond milk
  • 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 3 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 3 tablespoons melted unrefined coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 handfuls dried cherries

Method

  • Preheat oven to 325F.
  • Spread almond pulp in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes, to dehydrate the pulp a little.
  • Transfer pulp to a large bowl and toss in oats and sesame seeds. In a small bowl, stir together oil, honey, vanilla and salt. Drizzle over oat mixture and toss to coat evenly. Transfer mixture back to the baking sheet and bake 20-25 minutes, gently tossing once halfway through cooking, until granola is golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and let cool completely. Add dried cherries and transfer to an airtight container. Stored in a cool dry place, granola will keep up to one week.
