Granola

So I've tried making a few different granola recipes. So far this is my favorite. I adapted it from Smitten Kitchen.

3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup sliced almonds (1 oz)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/3 cup green (hulled) pumpkin seeds, sometimes called pepitas (1 1/2 oz; not roasted)
1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup mild honey
Healthy shake cinnamon
Pinch salt (flaky sea salt preferred)

Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375°F. Stir together all ingredients. Spread mixture evenly on a large (17-by 12-inch) shallow baking pan lined with a silpat and bake, stirring occasionally, until golden brown for 15 minutes.

Here is the secret ... Check it every 3-5 minutes after that. It burns really quickly. Transfer granola, in pan, to rack to cool stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.

Granola keeps, frozen (the fruit’s moisture softens granola if not kept frozen) in an airtight container, a few months.
