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.
