dried fruits that make you happy.
Ingredients

5 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
o
1 3/4 cups raw nuts or seeds, chopped into small pieces
(pecans, walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds, hemp seeds etc)
o
3/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
o 1 1/2 txp ground ginger
o 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
o
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
o
¾ cup combined of liquid sweeteners (honey, maple
syrup, agave syrup, molasses)
o
¼ cup melted coconut oil
o
1/4 cup finely chopped candied ginger
o 2/3 dried
fruit (cranberries, raisoin, apple etc) (optional)
Directions
Preheat oven to 300F. Combine dry ingredients in a medium-sized bowl and
mix thoroughly. In a separate bowl, combine melted coconut oil and syrups
and microwave until warm, about 45 seconds. Whisk quickly to mix the oil and
syrups and then pour into bowl of dry ingredients. Mix with a wooden spoon until oats are evenly
coated.
Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper and spread out the granola
over both sheets with a spatula. Bake for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 to
ensure even baking. When done, stir once while granola cools on the cookie
sheets and add in dried fruit and candied ginger. When completely cool, store in
an airtight container.
