Granola

Ingredients:

3 cups rolled oats
1 cup whole almonds
1 cup cashews
3/4 cup sweet coconut
1/4 cup plus 2 T dark brown sugar
1/4 cup plus 2 T agave nectar (or maple syrup)
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3/4 tsp salt

Directions:

Preheat over to 250 degrees. In a large bowl, combine the oats, nuts coconut and brown sugar.

In a separate bowl, combine agave nectar, oil and salt. Combine both mixtures and pour onto 2 cookie sheets. Cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes.

*This can be served like a bowl of cereal, with yogurt or with fresh fruit & cream. Best granola! I originally got the recipe from Alton Brown but changed the maple syrup to agave nectar which everyone seems to like better & I always have it on hand.
