Ingredients

3 cups old fashioned rolled oats
2 cups nuts pecans, walnuts, almonds, cashews are all favorites
¾ cup shredded sweetened coconut
⅓ cup pure maple syrup or honey
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup oil vegetable oil or coconut oil
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons flour or oat flour optional, see note
¼ teeaspoon cinnamon optional
¼-½ teapsoon vanilla optional
1 cup dried fruit optional (blueberries, raisins, cranberries are favorites)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 275 degrees. In a large bowl combine oats, nuts, shredded coconut, brown sugar, (and flour if using) and give it a good stir.
In a smaller bowl or a glass measuring cup stir together oil, maple syrup or honey, salt, and cinnamon and vanilla (if using). Pour over oat mixture and stir until well incorporated.
Spread granola mixture evenly on a large sheet pan. Bake for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even baking. Allow to cool completely on the pan undisturbed for best clusters.
After granola has completely cooled, stir in dried fruit if using. Store in airtight container at room temperature up to 3 weeks. Serve plain, with milk, or over yogurt. Enjoy!

Notes

Flour/Oat Flour: this is optional and helps to create larger granola clusters.

Sugars: feel free to adjust the amount of sugars in this recipe to your liking. This is my favorite version as written for flavor and texture.
