Making The Granola:

Drizzle one TBSP of olive oil in a cast iron skillet or non stick pan on medium heat. Next, add oats, nuts, cinnamon, and rosemary. Stir together and allow to toast for 1-3 minutes until golden and aromatic.

Next, shut off heat and add 2 TBSP of sweetener of choice. Stir until granola starts to form clusters. Add dried cherries, finishing salt, and give the granola a final stir. (This would be the time to add coconut flakes as well if you were to use them.) Serve warm or allow to cool for five minutes so that the granola can harden. Top your favorite non dairy yogurt with this granola and fresh fruit.
