Homemade Organic Granola

Yields 6 servings

Simple to make, granola is a wonderfully crisp cereal and also a healthy snack.

Ingredients Needed:

• 3 cups of organic rolled oats
• 1 cup coarsely chopped organic pecans
• 1 cup sliced or slivered organic almonds
• ¾ cup shredded organic sweet coconut
• ¼ cup organic dark brown sugar
• ¼ cup organic maple syrup
• ¼ organic olive oil
• ¾ teaspoon Himalayan sea salt
• 1 cup dried fruits (cranberries, cherries, apricots, dates, figs and/or raisins)

Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.

Combine the oats, nuts, coconut, and brown sugar in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, combine maple syrup, oil, and sea salt. Combine both mixtures and pour evenly onto 2 sheet pans. Cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to achieve an even color.

Remove from oven and transfer into a large bowl. Add dried fruit of your choice and mix until evenly distributed. Homemade granola will keep for several months if stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
