Method

  1. Heat the oven to 150°C fan/gas 3½. In a large bowl, mix the oats, hazelnuts, flaxseeds, cocoa powder, cocoa nibs and a pinch of salt. Combine the maple syrup and sunflower oil in a jug or bowl, then stir it into the oat mixture. Tip onto a baking tray.

  2. Stone and halve the cherries, put them in a roasting dish, then drizzle with maple syrup and stir gently to coat.

  3. Put the dish and tray in the oven for 20 minutes, stirring the granola halfway through. Leave to cool, then eat with yogurt or ice cream for breakfast or dessert.
