Preparation duration: 15 minutes

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

A young woman, who was at her father's funeral, asked her mother, "Mom, how did Dad die?" Her mom replied, "Heart attack." "What was he doing?" the daughter asked. Her mother said, "Well, we were having sex." This enfuriated the daughter, because they were both 80 years old. The daughter said, "You guys are 80 years old! You should have expected something like this! You're way too old to be engaging in this sort of activity!" The mom replied, "Well, you see, years ago, we realized that at noon every day, the church bells rang. So, we decided to work along to that nice, slow rhythm so that your father wouldn't have a heart attack. It worked for years too. That poor guy... he'd still be alive today if that darned Ice Cream truck hadn't come along..."
