Our Favorite Granola

Prep Time: 10 minutes; Cook Time: 20 minutes; Servings:32

Ingredients

• Old Fashioned Oats, 8 cups

• Coconut Oil, 1 cup

• Honey, .5 cup

• Maple Syrup, .5 cup

• Vanilla, 2 teaspoons

• Kosher Salt, 2 teaspoons

• Cinnamon, 1 teaspoon

• Dried ginger, .5 teaspoon

• Ground cloves, .25 teaspoon

• Pecan halves, 2 cups

• Craisins, 2 cups

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 Fahrenheit and line a full baking sheet (or two half sheets) with parchment paper;

2. In a small saucepan, combine coconut oil, honey, maple syrup, and vanilla over low heat; warm until melted; stir in salt and spices; remove from heat;

3. In a large bowl, combine oats with melted oil and sugars; stir well;

4. Spread out over pan and bake for 20-24 minutes (it likes 20 in my oven); turning the pan mid way through to prevent burning;

5. During the last 8 minutes of cooking, add nuts to granola and continue cooking;

6. Remove from oven, pour craisins on top, and using a spatula, press granola firmly down onto the pan (this is what will give you clumps);

7. Allow to cool for at least 20 minutes, then transfer to an air tight container.
