This is the granola recipe that we have been loving! I thought I would post it so that others can enjoy it, too! I have it with milk in the morning or sprinkled on yogurt for a snack. I bet it would be delicious on vanilla ice cream!Maple Granola
3 cups rolled oats
1 cup dried unsweetened coconut chips
1 cup pecans or walnuts, quartered
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil (sounds weird, but use it!)
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1 teaspoon coarse salt
3/4 to 1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup raisins
Preheat the oven to 300. Mix together oats, coconut, nuts, syrup, oil, sugar, sesame seeds, salt, and cinnamon. Spread granola in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake, stirring every 10 minutes, for 40 minutes. Add raisins, and bake until granola is toasted, about 10 minutes more. Let cool completely.
Granola can be stored for up to 2 weeks. I doubt it will last that long!
**I have been experimenting with replacing the brown sugar. I would like to omit it completely or replace it with a more natural option. I will be sure to post my findings. I would also like to try replacing the olive oil with coconut oil to see what that is like. But, for now, the recipe is perfect and I LOVE it.
Enjoy!

you are so funny. in a good way. i grew up with a wheat grinder and stored hard wheat and soaking it. you need to post your recipe for oatmeal waffles. good luck with this new adventure. i like my cereal way to much to give it up, but we do eat whole grain everything, except rice. i really hate brown rice.
