Almost Everyday Granola
- 6 cups Oatmeal, Do Not Use Quick Cooking Or Instant
- 2 cups Mixed Nuts And Seeds Such As Chopped Walnuts, Pecans, Hazelnuts, Almonds, Sunflower Seeds, Sesame Seeds Etc.
- 1/4 cups Flax Seeds
- 1 cup Dried Shredded Coconut, Preferable Unsweetened
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoons Ground Ginger
- Dash Of Salt
- 1/2 cups To 1 Cup Of Honey Or Pure Maple Syrup
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 cup Dried Fruit, Such As Raisins, Cherries, Chopped Dates Or Figs, Apricots
- Preheat the oven to 350u0b0F. In a large mixing bowl, combine everything but the dried fruit. Spread evenly on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper and put in the oven. Bake for 30 minutes or until the mixture is very evenly browned; stir every 10 minutes and rotate pan in the oven. The browner the granola gets, the crunchier it will be. It can burn easily though so keep a close eye on it in the oven.
- Remove the granola from the oven and add the raisins or dried fruit. Cool completely, stirring once in a while. Transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator; it will keep indefinitely.
- Note: I have used agave nectar with really good results although I have a hard time keeping the granola crunchy. If you don't mind a sort of moist granola, by all means use agave nectar as a sweetener.
