Cashew n' Oat Granola


This really is the easiest granola recipe - I know it by heart.  I timed it today to make sure I wasn't exaggerating, and it literally takes five minutes to put together.  If you love coconut, and if you love cashews, then you will LOVE this.

Ingredients:


3 cups rolled oats
1 cup cashews
1 cup sliced almonds
1 cup shredded coconut
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons maple syrup
1/4 cup coconut oil
3/4 tsp salt

Directions:


Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.

In large bowl, mix together oats, cashews, almonds, coconut and brown sugar.

In a separate bowl, combine the syrup, oil and salt. Top the dry ingredients with the syrup mixture and stir until evenly coated.

Pour onto 1 large, or 2 medium sheet pans, and cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes (stirring halfway through).

When finished, immediately pull out pans and take a spatula to stir around the granola so it won't stick to the pan as it cools - let cool for 5-10 minutes.  Break up into chunks and keep in an air-tight container or zip-locked back.
