This recipe for grain-free granola calls in roughly chopped sliced almonds to replace the oats. It's adapted from <a href="https://food52.com/recipes/15831-nekisia-davis-olive-oil-and-maple-granola">Nekisia Davis' Olive Oil and Maple Granola</a>, which more than 2,000 Food52 users consider a favorite. Consider this a template for grain-free granola: Riffing is encouraged. Swap out the dried cherries for another tart dried fruit, like cranberries. Toss in dark chocolate chips after it cools. The recipe yields about 7 cups, which'll fly off of your pantry shelves in no time, but you can easily double or halve it as you wish. Stored in a jar and adorned with a twine bow, it'd make a beautiful holiday—or any day—gift.
