Toasty Coconut Granola
- 3 cups rolled oats (the thicker the better. I like Bob's Red Mill.)
- 1 cup rolled rye
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 1 cup flaked unsweetened coconut (again, Bob's Red Mill is good for this.)
- 1/2 cup chopped almonds
- 3/4 cup chopped pecans
- Pinch kosher salt (to taste, really)
- Dash ground ginger and cinnamon
- 1/2 cup coconut oil and olive oil (I fill a half-cup measure with chunks of solid coconut oil, then pour in olive oil to fill the gaps)
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar (optional, if you like your granola on the sweeter side)
- Mix all the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Warm the oils and the honey and sugar (if using) together in a small pot until the honey ceases to be viscous and the mixture is pourable. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry and stir until everything is coated.
- Spread the granola out on a large, rimmed baking sheet. Bake at 300 F for about an hour, stirring around every 10 minutes (make sure the stuff near the edges rotates to the center). It will get very toasty-let it! So much good flavor comes from not being afraid to allow the granola to edge close to burnt. That said, if it's actually turning to carbon, take it out or turn down your oven. Ovens do vary, and mine may be cooler than yours. When it's deeply golden, it's done. Take it out, let it cool completely, and store it in airtight containers (mason jars work excellently well).
