Granola

Granola:
6 1/2 c. rolled oats (not quick cooking)
2 1/2 c. coconut
1 c. raisens
1 c. dried cranberries
1 1/2 c. almonds (whole, chopped, or sliced)
1 1/4 c. pecans (whole or chopped)
1/2 c. honey
1/2. c. melted coconut oil
1/2 c. sunflower seeds
1/2 c. flax seeds
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
 
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Combine all ingredients. Mix to distribute oil and honey.  Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.  Spread granola on parchment paper.  Bake 15 to 20 minutes rotating pan half way through.  Mixture will be moist but will clump and crisp as it cools.  Store in covered container for 1 to 2 weeks.

Note:  You can add or leave out whatever ingredients you want or have on hand.  I have made it with just oats, almond, honey, and coconut oil.  The most important thing is to at least have oats, coconut oil, and honey.  The rest is optional
