Homemade Granola Cereal

This is a really flexible recipe, if you don't want to use something just add more oats or whatever you want in the same amount as what you are voiding. Recipe was inspired by 100 days of whole food and modified to our liking.

-4 cups rolled oats
-1 cup raw sliced almonds
-1 cup raw cashew pieces (or walnuts or pecans)
-1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
-1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds
-2 teaspoons cinnamon
-1 1/2 teaspoons ginger
-1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
-4 tablespoons coconut oil
-1/2 cup pure honey
-2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 250 degrees. Cover a rectangular baking sheet with parchment paper. Mix the dry oats, almonds, cashews, coconut, seeds and spices together in a large mixing bowl. Heat the butter/oil and honey together in a small saucepan over low heat. Once the butter/oil melts stir in the vanilla. Pour the hot liquids over the dry ingredients and stir together with a rubber spatula until evenly coated. Spread mixture onto prepared pan in one even layer. Bake for 75 minutes. Let the granola cook and break it up into small chunks. Store in air tight container for up to two weeks.
