    List of Ingredients





    4 cups quick oats
    2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
    2 cups sliced almonds
    1/2 cup coconut oil; or vegetable oil
    1/2 cup blue agave
    3 tablespoons brown sugar
    1 teaspoon Salt
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    1 1/2 cup diced dried apricots; small dice
    1 cup diced dried dates; small dice
    1 cup Craisins
    1 cup chopped pecans; small pieces
    or mixed of your choice

    Recipe




    Preheat oven to 350*F.

    In a large bowl, toss oats and nuts together.

    In a small saucepan, melt the coconut oil, add vanilla and brown sugar.

    Simmer the oil, vanilla and sugar, stirring, until the brown sugar is dissolved.

    Pour over the oat, nut mixture and mix well. Pour the oat mixture onto a baking sheet (I use a 17.5X11.5 lined with aluminum foil) Bake occasionally stirring until light brown**

    Remove and cool, then add the coconut and fruits.

    **I like my granola a little on the chewy side. I baked it for 5 minutes then stirred and returned to the oven. After that, I checked it every two minutes for the texture that I want. For chewy it took 10 minutes.

    For crunchier granola return to oven and bake to golden brown about 5 to 10 minutes more.
