Granola from Cass

Ingredients 3 cups rolled oats 1 cup slivered almonds 1 cup pecans 3/4 cup shredded sweet coconut 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons real maple syrup 1/4 cup vegetable oil (sometimes I use canola) 3/4 teaspoon salt Directions Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. 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 spread thinly onto 2 sheet pans. Cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to achieve an even color. Remove from oven and transfer into a large container. **Note from Cass - You are supposed to stir it every 15 min but I stretch it to about 20-25 so I don't have to do it as often and it doesn't harm it in any way.
