Nothing nutty about it granola

I really really really like granola.  However, I have a hard time buying it because most prepackaged granola contains nuts.  So I have created my own batch and want to share it with you.

You will need:

3 cups of rolled oats

1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/2 dried cranberries

2 T of sugar

1/8 t of salt

6 T honey

2 T vegetable oil

1/2  cup of your favorite chocolate (You can use mini chips, but today I used bars and chopped them)

The how to:

Heat your oven to 300 degrees F

Combine oats, coconut, cranberries, sugar, and salt in a bowl

Heat honey and oil together on stove top with whisk constantly until combined.  The purpose of the heat is to melt thick honey only

Mix honey mixture into oat mixture and pour on a aluminum foil (non- stick) covered cookie sheet

Bake for twenty minutes until golden.  Stir half way through cooking time.

Transfer to storage bowl and let cool.  Continue to mix during the cooling process so oats don't stick together.  Once 100% cooled, mix in chocolate and enjoy!
