How to Make Crunchy Spice Granola
- Combine 1/2 cup honey, 1/4 cup maple syrup, 1/4 cup melted coconut oil, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/4 teaspoon sea salt in a medium saucepan.
- Simmer over low heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fragrant.
- Taste and adjust spices as needed. (Older spices may require a bit more.)
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine 6 cups rolled oats, 1 cup chopped almonds, 1 cup chopped walnuts, 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, 1/2 cup mixed dried fruit (cranberries, raisins, etc.).
- Pour the warm honey mixture over the dry ingredients and toss until evenly coated.
- Spread the granola mixture in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
- Bake for 20 minutes, then stir and bake for another 15-20 minutes, until golden brown and crunchy, stirring every 10 minutes to prevent burning.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut and 1/2 cup mixed dried fruit.
- Once completely cool, store in airtight containers at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, refrigerated for up to a month, or frozen for several months.
