Everyone loves a hearty, home made breakfast, and there are few things as delicious as warm granola fresh from the oven. Try this some Sunday instead of the usual pancakes. It's just as delicious, but also full of healthy ingredients, and only takes about 5 minutes to assemble. I like mine over good vanilla yogurt with fresh blueberries.
1.5 cups rolled oats
1 cup nuts, any variety (here I used walnuts and cashews, because that's what I had on hand)
1 cup dried fruit, any variety (I used raisins and dates)
3/4 cup shredded coconut (optional)
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup honey
1 t vanilla
1/2 t salt
Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine oats, nuts, fruit, and coconut. In a separate bowl, combine olive oil, honey, vanilla and salt. Add oil/honey mixture to oats mixture and stir until thoroughly combined. Spread mixture evenly in baking dish. Bake at 250 degrees for 1.5 hours, stirring every 15 minutes.
