There are two things you should always make homemade because it’s so easy…hummus and granola. Seriously, as easy as driving to the store, waiting in that forever-long-line. And, the bonus is you get to make it exactly how you like it with less preservatives and salt.

BONUS! This makes a great homemade gift!!

For instance, if you don’t like dried cherries, you can easily omit them or substitute any dried fruit such as dates, coconut, or dried mango. Dried mango! Have you ever tried dried mango? It’s the bomb-diggity!

I digress.

This Dried Chery Almond Granola Clusters recipe is highly versatile. What a bite of chocolate? Mini chocolate chips would be awesome in them. Don’t like almonds? Substitute pecans or cashews!

I added wheat germ because I have a huge jar that I’m trying to use up. Don’t buy a huge jar of wheat germ unless you use it in other recipes. You can totally omit it with it affecting the flavor. (Wheat germ does offer some nutritional value, however, if you’re trying to amp up your nutrition.)
