Homemade Granola

Ingredients

3/4 cup vegetable oil

1/2 cup honey

4 cups old-fashioned oats

2 cups sweetened, shredded coconut

2 cups coarsely chopped pecans

1 cup sunflower seeds

1 1/2 cups medium diced dried apricots or dried pears

1 cup golden raisins

1 cup dried cranberries

Directions

 

1. Heat oven to 325 degrees. In a small bow, whisk together the oil and honey; set aside. Toss the oats, coconut, pecans, and sunflower seeds together in a large bowl. Add the oil mixture, and stir, with a wooden spoon until well combined. Pour mixture onto two 13-by-8 inch baking sheets, and bake, stirring frequently, until the mixture is an even golden brown, 20 to 40 minutes, checking every 5 minutes.

2. Remove granola from oven; let cool, stirring occasionally. Add dried apricots (or pears), golden raisins, cranberries; stir to combine. Store in an airtight container.
