Vanilla almond granola

I picked up some store bought granola like this from the store a few weeks ago.  It's great on top of our home made yogurt with a tiny drizzle of agave since we make our yogurt with very little sweetener in it.  This is a good home made version.  From Sally's Baking Addiction.

2 1/2 c. (200 grams) old fashioned rolled oats
3/4 c (100 grams) slivered almonds
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 cup (120 grams) maple syrup
1/4 cup (60 ml ) melted coconut oil
1/4 tsp almond extract
1 tbs vanilla extract

Toss the oats, almonds, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl.
Stir together the maple syrup and coconut oil.
Add in the extracts and then pour over the oat mixture.
Bake in a parchment or silpat lined rimmed baking sheet in the middle of a 300 degree oven for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes or until lightly brown.
Cool completely and add in any dried fruit if you want.  Dried cherries would be great in this one.
