Servings: persons

1 Tablespoon Ground Cinnamon
1/2 teaspoons Ground Allspice
1/4 teaspoons Ground Nutmeg
3/4 cups Almonds, Chopped Coarsely
2 cups Rolled Oats
1 pinch Maldon Sea Salt
6 Tablespoons Real Maple Syrup
5 Tablespoons Olive Oil Or Vegetable Oil, Divided
1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract
1 cup Hulled Pistachios, Chopped Coarsely
1 cup Dried Cranberries
1/2 cups Dried Cherries
1/2 cups Raw Coconut Flakes
1/4 cups Chocolate Chips (or 4 Tablespoons Cocoa Nibs)

1
Preheat the oven to 250u00b0.
2
Combine the spices (cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg), almonds, oats, and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Add to the mix the maple syrup, 4 tablespoons of the oil, and vanilla extract. Stir well.
3
Spread the mixture evenly onto a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Stir the ingredients and rotate the tray in the oven. Bake for another 15 minutes. Remove from the oven- the granola mixture should begin looking dry at this point-and transfer to a bowl. Add the dried fruit, chopped pistachios (they have a low burning temperature), and the remaining olive oil. Mix well. Spread mixture onto the baking sheet again and cook for another 5 minutes. Add the coconut flakes and bake for 2 minutes more. Remove the pan from the oven and stir in the chocolate.
4
Let cool before serving or storing. Serve with yogurt or milk.
