Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups oats preferably not quick cooking, but that is what I had, I also prefer Irish Oatmeal
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut
  • 1/4 cup pepitas
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/3 cup dried cherries I have some dried strawberries in here as well, I was trying to use up some of the other dried fruit in my pantry

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, (it needs to be pretty big, as you are going to be tossing this) combine the oats, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, nuts, and coconut.

  • Spread the granola out on a parchment lined baking sheet. You clump it up at this point if you like. I like chunks of granola so I leave big globs on the parchment.

  • Bake the granola in a preheated 300 degree oven for about 40 minutes. Every 10 minutes or so, give it a stir. You want the granola to dry out and the nuts to toast.

  • Add the dried fruit to the pan and stir it in. Let the granola cool and keep in an airtight container for a week up to 10 days.

  • Put the granola into a bowl and pour in some milk. If you are feeling really fancy, add some fresh fruit. Or sprinkle the granola over yogurt.
