Method 1 Method 1 of 2: Making Granola

Granola is a baked cereal that takes a little longer to make than muesli, but will result in a crunchy, versatile treat that you can eat with milk or sprinkle on yogurt or ice cream.

1. 1 Preheat your oven to 250 °F (120 °C).
2. 2 Mix the nuts, oats, coconut, and brown sugar in a large bowl. Mix thoroughly to ensure that there are no clumps of the same ingredient.
3. 3 In a different bowl, mix the maple syrup (or honey), oil, and salt.
4. 4 Pour the syrup mixture into the oats mixture. Combine well.
5. 5 Spread the mixture into two shallow pans. Place in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
6. 6 Stir the mixture every 15 minutes. To help it brown evenly.
7. 7 Take the granola out of the oven. Pour it into a large bowl and allow it to cool. Add raisins (or your dried fruit of choice) and combine until the fruit is evenly mixed into the granola.
8. 8 Place in an airtight container. It should keep for 2-3 weeks.
