Who doesn't like Granola? I love it but its very expensive and its hard to find a kind that doesn't have ingredients you don't want. I found a Cranberry Orange one at a farmer's market in San Francisco years ago that was awesome and have never been able to find one since, so I took this basic recipe and then created my own tasty granola and so can you. Here's How
Basic Ingredients
4 cups dried Oats (do not use instant or quick cooking)
2 cups shredded coconut
2 cups slivered almonds
3/4 cup vegetable oil
zest of 1 orange (optional)
1/2 cup honey
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
13x18inch baking sheet
In large bowl toss together dried oats, coconut, almonds, and orange zest (optional). Whisk vegetable oil and honey together in small bowl. Pour liquid mixture over oat mixture and toss until coated. Pour onto baking sheet in a thin layer. Bake until browned about 45 minutes. allow to cool stirring occasionally. Store in airtight container.
