Honey-Peanut Granola with Coconut and Dried Cherries image

This quick and easy homemade granola is a like a good bag of trail mix-but even better! Salty peanuts, dried cherries, and fat flakes of toasted coconut make up the mix-ins, while an egg white is added before baking to keep this batch full of snackable clusters. Lastly, a combination of olive oil, honey, and brown sugar infuses every cholesterol-busting oat with a wholesome sweetness.
