Here’s an amazing recipe for some homemade granola! (Thank you, Teresa G.!) My comments are emphasized.

Teresa’s Organic Granola

3 1/2 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup coconut flakes, unsweetened
3 tablespoons flax seeds (I ground all 3 tbsp)
3 tablespoons sesame seeds
1/4 cup sunflower or pumpkin seeds (I used raw pumpkin seeds)
1/2 cup toasted mixed nuts, chopped (I used toasted almonds, though next time I’ll leave them raw)
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup canola oil (I used veggie)
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups mixed dried fruit (I used a mix of dried cherries, cranberries, and blueberries)
I also added 2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast flakes.

Preheat the oven to 375. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients, except the dried fruit. Stir well to incorporate.

Spread the mixture on the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out into an even layer. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes (depending on the depth of browning you’re looking for — I baked for just 20 minutes), stirring every 10 minutes.

Remove the granola from the oven and cool completely, in its pan, on a wire rack. Once the granola is cool, you then mix in the dried fruit.
