Grandma's Granola

I'm not a new year dieter. I do set resolutions but they are adjusted year round. I don't believe in dieting though. I believe in healthy eating habits that include delicious treats. However, my mom brought us this granola last year and we love it. Granola is health food right? Well, whether or not you agree, try this recipe, we love it.

Granola

6 cups regular oats

1/2 cup almonds, chopped

1/2 cup pecans

1/2 cup walnuts

1/2 cup sunflower seeds

1/2 bag coconut

1/4 cup chia seeds

1/4 cup cinnamon

1/2 cup brown sugar

4 Tbsp Coconut oil

1/2 cup honey

1/2 tsp salt

1 Tbsp vanilla

1 cup raisins or dried cherries

Preheat oven to 350. Mix oats with nuts, seeds, cinnamon, & coconut. Put on heavy baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until oats are golden and toasted. (About 10 minutes) In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine oil, sugar and honey. Bring to a boil and stir until all melted. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Pour over toasted oats and mix thoroughly. Return to baking sheet and spread out with spatula. Bake until fragrant and golden, 10-13 minutes. Let cool for 2-3 minutes, then break into smaller pieces before totally cool.
