Add butter to a small saucepan and heat over medium heat. Whisk until slightly brown, about 4 - 5 minutes, then immediately remove from heat. Stir in honey and vanilla. In a large bowl, combine oats, almonds, quinoa, flaxseed, cinnamon and salt. Stir well to combine. Pour butter/honey over the oat mixture, stirring with a large spoon, mixing thoroughly, about 5 minutes. Spread evenly on the baking sheet in one layer. Bake for 10 minutes, toss and then bake for 10 minutes more. Toss again, then bake for about 10 more minutes, stirring every 3 minutes or so until the mixture is golden. Remove and fold in cherries, raisins, and coconut. Let cool for about 10 minutes on parchment paper. At this time, gently press down on the granola with hands - this helps it "clump" together. After 15 minutes, pour chocolate chips over top and stir in gently. Let cool completely for at least one hour before eating. Marcel's Culinary Experience https://www.marcelsculinaryexperience.com/
