Ingredients
-
4 cups regular rolled oats
4 Tablespoons coconut, dried, unsweetened
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch ground ginger
1 dash salt
1 Tablespoon canola oil
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup water
1/3 cup packed raisins
Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
In a large bowl, mix together the oats, coconut, almonds, cinnamon, ginger, and salt.
Heat the maple syrup, oil, and water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring just to the boil. Then pour hot syrup mixture over oat mixture. Toss to coat evenly.
Transfer to large baking sheet, forming some clumps with your hands to make the crunchy granola clusters. Bake for about 40 minutes at low heat, stirring halfway through baking time. When oats begin to appear light golden color and almost completely dry, stir in raisins. Bake for another 5 minutes to dry the raisins a little, but not so they burn. The end result should be a crunchy and dry granola, with a golden color. Don't worry if it's not really crispy though, because it will continue to harden and crisp up as it cools.
Let cool at room temperature. Then store in an airtight container for up to a week. Enjoy as is, or stir into yogurt and top with fruit for a complete breakfast!
Makes about 16 generous 1/4-cup servings.
