Coconut Ginger Granola

Coconut Ginger Granola

Ingredients

• 3 1/2 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup slivered almonds
• 1 cup shredded sweet coconut
• 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
• 1/2 cup ginger syrup (I've used agave or maple syrup too)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)
• 1/4 cup coconut oil (vegetable oil may be used)
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 
  
• Directions

Preheat oven to 275 degrees F.

In a large bowl, combine the oats, nuts, coconut, and brown sugar. In a separate bowl, combine ginger syrup, oil, vanilla and salt. Combine and mix well, then pour onto sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Cook for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to achieve an even color. Remove from oven and transfer into a large bowl.

*You can use any nuts you have on hand as substitution.  

*I always double the recipe and bake it on two sheet pans. Alternating bottom and top rack when I take them out to stir. We eat LOTS of granola around here :) Enjoy!
