  • 3 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup dried unsweetened coconut chips or flakes
  • 1 cup pecans chopped
  • 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil sounds odd, but use it!!
  • 1/2 cup raisins or other dried fruit

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
  • Mix together the oats, coconut, nuts, sunflower seeds, salt, cinnamon, maple syrup and olive oil in a large bowl.
  • Spread the granola evenly on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Bake, stirring every 10 minutes, for 40 minutes.
  • Add the raisins, and bake an additional 10 minutes.
  • Let cool completely before storing in the refrigerator.

Notes

The granola can be stored for up to two weeks, but I doubt it will last that long!
