The promised granola recipe

This is my sister's granola recipe. It's amazing. You'll never buy pre-fab granola again if you make this one time.

Deb's Granola

4 1/2 cups rolled oats (not the quick ones; use the old-fashioned kind)
1 cup sliced/slivered almonds
1 cup pecan pieces
1 1/2 cups flaked coconut
1/4 cup flax seed
1/4 cup oat bran (I didn't have any, so I used wheat germ)
2/3 cup brown sugar

Mix all this together in a really big bowl. Then, whisk together:

1/2 cup maple syrup (the real stuff; don't ruin your palate with that fake corn-syrup nonsense.)
1/2 cup coconut oil
1/2 teaspoon salt

and pour over the oat mixture in the big bowl. Toss around until it's all nicely coated. Spread evenly on 3 cookie sheets (make sure they have sides). Bake at 250° for an hour, stirring every 15 minutes.

I also put raisins in mine, but that's optional. You can substitute for a lot of the things in the recipe, so if you can't get a certain thing, just try something else. It's amazing.

Yogurt recipe coming soon!
