Lower Fat Cinnamon Granola - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 cups old fashioned oats
1/3 cup almonds, coarsely chopped
1/3 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped
1/3 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds (roasted and unsalted)
1/4 cup peanuts, coarsely chopped (roasted and unsalted)
1/2 cup flaked coconut
2 tablespoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup honey
1/3 cup golden raisin
1/3 cup dried apricot
1/3 cup dried cherries
1/3 cup dried cranberries

Preparation

Preheat oven to 300 F.
Combine oats through salt in a large bowl, mixing well. Melt butter and stir into honey in a small bowl. Pour honey/butter mixture over oat mixture and stir until evenly moistened. (You need a big sturdy wooden spoon or your hands.).
Pour the granola onto two large baking sheets lined w/parchment paper and bake until cereal is evenly toasted, about 30-40 min total. Halfway through, give granola a good stir and return to oven until sufficiently golden brown.
Once granola has cooled, stir in dried fruit. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
