How I made the granola. I used about 4 cups of Oats (not instant), 2 cup of nuts, I used 2 cup of sliced almonds because that's what I had on hand but you can add walnuts, pecans or seeds. Sometimes I add all the nuts when I am making granola. I added about 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of cinnamon and 1/4 cup of honey to 1 stick of butter and melted this in a small sauce pan over medium low heat. Once it comes to a bubbly boil and its all melted I added it to the oats and nuts, mixing it really well until everything was completely combined. I spread it on a cookie sheet. I put the oven at 375 and baked for 15 minutes making sure not to walk away and keeping a close eye on the cooking process because, I know this has a tendency to burn very quick. At 15 minutes of cooking I took it out of the oven and turned over the granola mixture and added the 1 cup of coconut flakes, I then placed back in the oven for another 5 minutes. Once done and cooled I added a 8oz bag of mixed dry fruit and 1/2 cup more coconut flakes. I like my coconut both ways cooked and raw. I keep this in a sealed tight container. I use this on yogurt, ice cream, peanut butter or I use it as a cereal.
