Quick Homemade Granola

We've stopped eating store bought cereals.  Yup.  Even supposed "good for you" cereals are full of junk and GMO ingredients.  So we've gone to what our grandmother's did and make it homemade.  Here is a simple recipe that doesn't take long and will store for several weeks (although ours doesn't last that long - ha ha).

Dry Ingredients:

8 cups old fashion oats – gluten free
1 cup nuts (walnuts, pecans, or sliced almonds – raw, unsalted)
2 T. cinnamon (or more to taste)
1 cup organic unsweetened coconut flakes (Tropical Traditions online)
1 cup dried fruit (cranberries, raisins, blueberries, etc)

Wet Ingredients:

2 cups local raw honey
1 T. pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup organic coconut oil

1. Mix dry ingredients in large baking dish (roaster works well)
2. Combine wet ingredients and heat on low just until honey and coconut oil can be easily stirred.
3. Pour wet ingredients over dry and mix well.
4. Bake at 350 for 45 min stirring every 15 minutes

Delicious with plain goat’s milk yogurt and fruit or pour homemade coconut milk over top. Also a favorite topping on homemade coconut strawberry ice cream.  (yes recipe coming soon)
