Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • ¾ cup pecans coarsely chopped
  • ¾ cup sweetened flaked coconut
  • teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup honey
  • ½ cup dried cranberries
  • ½ cup golden raisins

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a small, rimmed baking pan with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together oats, pecans, coconut, and salt. Whisk together oil and honey, then stir into oat mixture until well coated. Do NOT add the dried fruit or it will burn during baking. It must be added after the granola has baked.
  • Spread mixture evenly onto the sheet pan. Bake, stirring halfway through baking, for about 16-20 minutes* or until lightly golden. It is very important to stir partway to ensure even baking. Watch closely to prevent overbrowning because it will brown quickly at the end.
  • Remove from oven and immediately stir in dried cranberries and golden raisins. Cool completely on the sheet pan on a rack. Store in an airtight container.

Notes

A range is given for baking due to variances in ovens and pans. Always start with the lowest bake time and bake for additional time, if needed.
