Berry Granola

A and C love granola, and I know I've posted already how difficult it is to get nut-free products. Here's another recipe that takes advantage of some extra cereal flakes you might have hanging out in the pantry, too smushed to eat but a sin to throw out!

You need:

7 c. oats
4 c. bran flakes
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/3 c. coconut oil
1/3 c. honey
1/2 c. molasses
1/2 c. water
1 c. unsweetened coconut
1 c. dried fruit of choice

Heat the oven to 325 degrees. In a very very large bowl, combine the oats, flakes, salt, and nutmeg. In a saucepan, combine the oil, honey, molasses and water. Warm over medium heat, until hot. Pour the heated liquid over the dry mixture and mix well. Divide evenly over two sheet pans in a single layer, bake for 15 minutes. Turn with a spatula and bake for 45 minutes, turning every fifteen minutes. Leave to cool. Granola will crisp while cooling. Once completely cool, stir in coconut and fruit.
