Recipe: Homemade Organic Granola+++
Homemade Organic Granola
Ingredients
4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
2 cups sliced almonds
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup good honey
Optional:
1 1/2 cups small diced dried apricots
1 cup small diced dried figs
1 cup dried cranberries
1 cup roasted, unsalted cashews
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Toss the oats, coconut, and almonds together in a large bowl/strong plastic bag. So, no clean up.
Add the oil and honey into the bowl/bag.
Stir/toss to mix everything together and don't worry if it seems to need more liquid. An Even coating is sufficient.
Grease a medium baking sheet pan lightly.
Pour in the mixture and coat evenly on the sheet.
Bake for 10 minutes and stir occasionally with a spatula, until the mixture turns a nice, even, golden brown for a total of 20 minutes.
Remove the granola from the oven and it will continue to cook.
Allow it to cool and stir occasionally.
Add the optional ingredients.
Once cool enough to handle about 10 minutes, remove the granola from sheet to avoid sticking.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to clean.
Store the cooled granola in an airtight container.
Soak baking sheets in water for easy cleaning.
Serve on top of greek yogurt! Yum!
