For any of you that have never made granola before, let me tell you, this is one of the easiest things in the world. And this recipe makes so much that it's well worth the effort.
Ingredients:
5 cups rolled oats
1 cup raw sliced almonds (so glad I have a Trader Joe's!)
1 cup raw cashew pieces
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut. I don't always include this, but it gives it a nice texture when I do.
1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 tablespoons salted butter
1 cup raw sliced almonds (so glad I have a Trader Joe's!)
1 cup raw cashew pieces
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut. I don't always include this, but it gives it a nice texture when I do.
1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 tablespoons salted butter
3 tablespoons coconut oil (you can adjust the butter and oil ratio, I don't really measure anymore, but this is what I think I'm using)
1/3 cup honey (or less depending on how sweet you want it)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
parchment paper (not wax paper, that was a nightmare)
Directions:
1/3 cup honey (or less depending on how sweet you want it)

Mix the liquids in with the oats, stir using a spatula until everything gets even looking.
Spread mixture evenly onto prepared pan. Bake for 75 minutes.
I've heard of some people accidentally burning granola. I've never had that happen and I set my oven to a little over 250 since it seems to run cool. My last oven ran hot, chances are you know your oven, so adjust accordingly.
Let the granola cool (it will crisp as it does). Once it has cooled completely transfer to an airtight container. I've heard that it will last for 2 weeks...but that doesn't happen in our house, it's eaten way before then.
