Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350ºF. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper or very lightly grease with coconut oil (alternately, use two small cookie sheets).
2. In a large bowl mix together the oats, quinoa, almonds, coconut flakes, cocoa nibs, chia seeds, cinnamon and salt then set aside.
3. In small bowl whisk together melted coconut oil and maple syrup until combined.
4. Pour maple syrup mixture over oat mixture and stir until well coated.
5. Spread granola mixture onto prepared baking sheet and place in preheated oven. Bake for ~40-50 minutes until lightly browned, lightly stirring mixture half way through cooking time.
6. When nicely toasted remove from oven and toss in dried cherries, press mixture down lightly to help clusters to form.
7. Allow to cool completely, adding chocolate chips once cooled if desired. Store in air tight container or bag at room temperature for up to a month.
