CHERRY-ALMOND GRANOLA WITH YOGURT

Really monitor that granola. Normally, cooks will tell you not to open an oven, but there is a very fine line between roasty toasty and burnty turdy. What you are doing is giving the granola a brief respite from the heat, so as to gradually toast it.

Time 1h5m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup peanut oil
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup light agave syrup
4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
2 cups raw sliced almonds
1 teaspoon kosher salt
5 ounces dried sweet cherries
1 lime, zested
2 vanilla beans
1 quart whole-fat Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, optional

Steps:

  • For the granola: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a pot set over medium heat, combine the oil, brown sugar and agave and cook until bubbling, about 4 minutes. Add the agave mixture to the oats, almonds and salt in a heatproof bowl and stir to coat. Transfer this mixture to a parchment-lined baking sheet and spread into as thin of a layer as you can. Bake, stirring often to ensure even browning, until browned, about 20 minutes (see Cook's Note).
  • Transfer to a mixing bowl and quickly mix in the cherries and lime zest. Allow to cool.
  • For the yogurt: Split and scrape the vanilla beans into the Greek yogurt. Add the confectioners' sugar and salt, if using, and stir. Store the vanilla bean pods in the yogurt until you are ready to serve.
  • Spoon the yogurt into serving dishes and top with the granola. Serve immediately.

CHERRY-ALMOND GRANOLA CRISP

For all the cobbler and crisp lovers, here's a simple dish that you can eat for breakfast or dessert. Chewy clusters of almonds and oats brown in the oven after getting coated in a nutty and floral browned-butter honey syrup. While the granola clusters caramelize, the bed of sweet cherries they rest over turns tender and juicy. Warm out of the oven, this crisp belongs in a bowl with your favorite yogurt, some of the warm cherry sauce drizzled over top, and maybe even a good shaving of dark chocolate or orange zest, if you have some.

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 pound/225 grams sweet cherries, halved and pitted (about 1 1/4 packed cups)
1/3 cup/115 milliliters honey
4 tablespoons/60 grams unsalted butter (1/2 stick)
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup/100 grams sliced almonds
1/2 cup/50 grams rolled oats
Yogurt, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spread out the cherry halves in the bottom of an 8-inch square (or 9-inch round) baking dish. Set aside.
  • In a small saucepan, add the honey, butter and salt. Bring to a foaming boil over medium heat, then cook 3 to 4 minutes until the honey thickens, stirring often so it never burns. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla - it will spatter slightly - then fold in the almonds and oats, continuing to stir until the oats absorb all the honey syrup.
  • Drop spoonfuls of the mixture across the cherries, and bake for 22 to 25 minutes or until the almonds are almost a mahogany brown and the cherries are tender and juicy. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes, so the granola hardens slightly, then serve with yogurt.

CHERRY ALMOND GRANOLA

Skim milk turns this crunchy snack into a healthy breakfast cereal, while a dollop of low-fat yogurt makes it a delicious dessert. Try adding a little baking cocoa to the brown sugar for a flavor twist. -Deborah Purdue of Freeland, Michigan.
