Granola

Not only is this fun to make, we love to mix it with yogurt and fresh berries for breakfast! It's pretty in clear jars tied with ribbon for gifts.

4 C. old-fashioned oats (not the quick cook kind)
1 C. sliced almonds
1/2 C. unsweetened shredded coconut
1/4 C. unsalted sunflower seeds
1/2 C. pure maple syrup
2 T. canola oil
1/2 tsp. salt
1 C. assorted dried fruit- craisins, golden raisins, cherries, diced apricots, etc.

On large baking sheet, scatter oats, almonds, coconut, sunflower seeds.
Drizzle with syrup, oil, and salt. Toss to coat.

Bake @ 350* for 25-30 minutes.
Cool. Add dried fruit and store in airtight container.
