Cooking duration: 105 minutes

 

Ingredients:

1/2 cup sliced almonds

1/4 cup coconut oil

1 cup golden raisins

2 Tablespoons honey

4 cups old fashioned oats

1 cup pecan pieces

1 cup pepitas

1/2 cup dark raisins

1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)

1 cup sweetened coconut flakes

2 teaspoons real vanilla extract

Equipment:

microwave

bowl

oven

frying pan

Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat the oven to 275 F. In a large bowl, mix together the oats, coconut, pecans, pepitas, and almond slices. In a separate small bowl, add the coconut oil (it will be solid at room temperature), honey and vanilla. Microwave on high for 30 seconds, then stir to finish melting the coconut oil. Stir in the salt. If the coconut oil still isn't melted, microwave just a little longer and stir again to mix and melt away any chunks.Pour the coconut oil mixture over the oat mixture in the big bowl and stir to coat all the oats and nuts in the oil mixture. Pour the granola into a large flat jelly roll pan with a lip and smooth it out so it's one even layer. Roast in the oven for 1 1/2 - 2 hours, stirring every 15 minutes, until the granola is golden brown and nicely toasted. (I roasted it for 1 hour 45 minutes.)Sprinkle the raisins over top and stir a bit to mix them into the mixture. Store in an airtight container.

Food Joke

John invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his mother couldn't help noticing how attractive and shapely the housekeeper was. Over the course of the evening, she started to wonder if there was more between John and the housekeeper than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, John volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, my relationship with my housekeeper is purely professional." About a week later, the housekeeper came to John and said, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do you?" John said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll write her a letter just to be sure." So he sat down and wrote: "Dear Mother, I'm not saying you 'did' take a gravy ladle from my house, and I'm not saying you 'did not' take a gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner." Several days later, John received a letter from his mother which said "Dear Son, I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with your housekeeper, and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with your housekeeper. But the fact remains that if she were sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now. Love, Mom"
