Thanks, Alton Brown of the Food Network, for this totally awesome and easy recipe. I don't think I'll buy granola from the store ever again!
(6 servings)
3 C rolled oats
1 C slivered almonds
1 C cashews
3/4 C shredded sweet coconut
1/4 C plus 2 TBS dark brown sugar
1/4 C plus 2 TBS maple syrup
1/4 C vegetable oil
3/4 tsp salt
1 C raisins
Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
In a large bowl, combine the oats, nuts, coconut, and brown sugar. In a separate bowl, combine maple syrup, oil, and salt. Combine both mixtures and pour onto 2 sheet pans. Cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes or so to achieve an even color.Remove from oven and transfer into a large bowl. Add raisins and mix until evenly distributed.
