Homemade Granola

My mother has made granola for as long as I can remember. On a recent trip to visit family, I learned that a cousin of mine has been making granola as well. And I was thrilled to find that she made it with ingredients that I LOVED! My mom's granola had raisins, which I did not love... this had almonds and cranberries... and, I learned, whatever I wanted! So, with a bit of guidance from her on the ingredients, and some guidance from here on the amounts. Here's what I came out with:


Ingredients:
5c rolled oats
1/4c honey
1/2c sliced almonds
1/2c shredded coconut
1/2c-1c dried cranberries
1/3c coconut oil
1T ground cinnamon
1/2c brown sugar

Instructions:
Mix all dry ingredients (all except oil and honey) in a large bowl. Mix in the honey and oil. Spread on parchment paper on a rimmed cookie sheet (or two). Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes. Stir, and then bake for another 15-20 minutes (or until golden brown).
