Fruity-Nutty Coconut Granola



Combine everything - except the fruit - in a large glass bowl. I decided against the sesame seeds.

Preheat your oven to 275° and line a large, edged, baking sheet with parchment paper.



2c whole mixed nuts - then chop them
3c organic quick rolled oats
1c unsweetened coconut 
1/2T pumpkin pie spice
1//2 coconut sugar
a good shake (1/4t or so) of salt
1/4c ground flax seed
1T real vanilla or almond extract
1/3-1/2c unrefined solid coconut oil - melted, then measure

2c of your favorite dried fruit(s)


Bake this for about an hour, carefully stirring about half way through. When toasted and cooled to room temperature, add the craisins and tart cherries. Golden raisins, chopped dried apricots, papaya, or mango could also be substituted. Mix together well, then package in zip type bags.

This will be perfect with some plain, whole milk Greek yogurt. It's already pretty fruit-heavy, but, if you want, you could add some big beautiful blueberries now, frozen or fresh. . .Lin
