Servings: persons

42 ounces quick oatmeal
1 (16 ounce) bag shredded coconut
1 (10 ounce) bag sliced almonds
2 cups oat bran
1 tablespoon sea salt
2 cups Splenda granular, sugar substitute (optional) or 2 cups sugar (optional)
3 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon clove
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 1/2 cups canola oil
2 cups hot water
2 cups honey
3 tablespoons vanilla
1 (24 ounce) box raisins or (24 ounce) box other dried fruit

1
In a (large) dish pan mix dry ingredients (oatmeal through nutmeg) until evenly dispersed.
2
In a microwaveable bowl, mix wet ingredients (oil through vanilla).
3
Microwave on high for one minute to combine if needed.
4
Pour liquid over cereal mix.
5
Stir with spoon to moisten everything. Add a little water if necessary.
6
Spread into four large greased roasting or baking pans, about 1 to 1 1/2 inch deep works best.
7
Bake at 250 degrees for 120 minutes, stirring after 40 minutes, breaking up large clumps.
8
After cooking, let cool on stove. Granola will dry out a little more in this stage, so don't overcook it while baking.
9
Spread raisins over top of dry granola.
10
Scoop into airtight containers. Raisins will mix evenly into granola in this stage.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
