Alton Brown's Granola

3 c. rolled oats

1 c. slivered almonds

1 c. cashews

3.4 c. shredded sweet coconut (I didn't have any on hand, so I left it out)

1/4 c. plus 2 T. dark brown sugar

1/4 c. plus 2 T. maple syrup (yes those extra 2 T. matter)

1/4 c. vegetable oil (I used canola. It is clean and healthy without an oily taste)

3/4 tsp. salt

1 c. raisins

(I had some mini chocolate chips left from the St. Pat's muffins that I tossed in as well)

Preheat oven to 250 degrees.

In a large bowl combine the oats, coconut, nuts and brown sugar.

Whisk the syrup, oil and salt together.

Toss the dry and wet together until all is well coated.

Spread onto 2 baking sheets.

Bake for 1-1/2 hours, stirring every 15 minutes.

Pour into a large bowl and stir the raisins into the mix.
