Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 cup Unsweetened Coconut Flakes; 3 cups Old Fashioned Oats; 1/2 cups Almonds, Chopped; 1/2 cups Pecans, Chopped; 3 Tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder; 1-1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon; 1 teaspoon Salt; 1/8 teaspoons Freshly Grated Nutmeg; 1/4 cups Extra Virgin Olive Oil; 1/4 cups Honey; 1/3 cups Maple Syrup; 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract; 1/2 teaspoons Molasses; 1 cup Dried Fruit

Servings: persons

1 cup Unsweetened Coconut Flakes
3 cups Old Fashioned Oats
1/2 cups Almonds, Chopped
1/2 cups Pecans, Chopped
3 Tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
1-1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
1 teaspoon Salt
1/8 teaspoons Freshly Grated Nutmeg
1/4 cups Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/4 cups Honey
1/3 cups Maple Syrup
1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
1/2 teaspoons Molasses
1 cup Dried Fruit

1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F. Spread the coconut flakes out in an even layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 4 minutes. The edges should just start to turn golden. Take care not to burn it-it happens very fast! Transfer coconut to a small bowl to cool, and reduce oven heat to 225u00b0F.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats with the nuts, cocoa powder, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg.
3
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and molasses.
4
Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix well. Spread the granola out with a rubber spatula in an even layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet (it helps if it has a rim).
5
Place in the oven and bake for about 30-40 minutes. Remove the granola from the oven every 10 minutes to stir it around so it all gets toasted. If you prefer a chewy granola, bake for about 30 minutes. If you like a crunchy granola, bake it for longer, but make sure it doesn't burn! Remember that as the granola cools, it will get harder.
6
After the granola has completely cooled, transfer it to a bowl. Mix in the toasted coconut and dried fruit.
7
Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks-if it lasts that long!
