Grandma’s Granola

13 cups old fashioned oats

1/2 14-oz pkg. coconut, toasted

1 1/2 Tbsp. cinnamon

1 ½ cups honey

1 tsp. salt

3 tsp. vanilla

1 cup coconut oil

1 cup water

Craisins or raisins (optional)

Sliced almonds (optionl)

Combine oats, coconut and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.

Combine honey, salt, vanilla, coconut oil and water in sauce pan.  Stir over medium heat until honey is dissolved (no need need to boil).  Pour over grain mixture and stir until evenly coated.

Spread mixture onto 2 jelly roll pans and bake at 300° for 25 minutes for a more chewy granola.  For a more crunchy granola, put in a dehydrator using fruit leather trays for approximately 24 hours or more - until no longer chewy, but crunchy.

Return mixture to large bowl and fold in craisins and almonds if desired. Store in tightly sealed container.

Serve with milk (regular or almond), yogurt or on top of ice cream.
