Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 2 hours
Total Time 2 hours 10 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 2½ cups rolled oats not quick-cooking or instant oats
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ⅓ cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup sliced almonds
  • ¼ cup shredded coconut
  • ½ cup dried cherries
  • ¼ cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  1. Pour oats and salt into slow-cooker. In a bowl, mix honey, melted butter, and vanilla. Pour over oats. Add almonds, and coconut. Mix until well-combined.
  2. Set slow-cooker to low for 3 hours. Cover, but set the lid a little crooked so steam can escape and the granola can dry out. Stir granola every 30 minutes. When granola is golden and almost dry to the touch, turn off slow-cooker (mine took just over 2 hours, but it depends on the size of your slow-cooker).
  3. Pour the hot granola onto a sheet pan and spread out to allow it to cool.
  4. Sprinkle dried cherries and mini chocolate chips over cooled granola. Store in an airtight container.
