This is really good granola. It's very easy, as long as you don't let it burn--that's my issue, though. You are probably more competent and less distractible than I.
Mix:
4-6 C rolled oats
1-2 C sliced almonds
1/2-1 C: raw sunflower seeds, other nuts, pumpkin seeds and/or unsweetened grated coconut (not shredded, unless you like coconut in your teeth. I do not.
1/2-1 C brown sugar, and/or honey, maple syrup, other sweet stuff, your choice
pinch of salt
cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, ginger, as you wish
1/2 c oil, I use coconut oil or canola. Coconut is better.
1C Orange Juice!!!! this is important!
AND the zest of one orange. Also important.
I mix this all up in a big bowl, spread it out on 2 cookie sheets, and roast it @ 350 for several 10 minute intervals. I stir it around every time I check it. I have to just sit down on the floor and read the paper while it cooks, or I burn it, It goes from perfect-crunchy-chewy-caramelized to burned black in about one second, so you have to watch it like a hawk.
Dump the hot granola back in the bowl and stir in the dried fruit of your choice (I like currents.)
This is hella good, especially with greek yogurt--preferably full fat--and sliced fruit.
