Basic Hippy Nut Granola

Ingredients (I prefer organic):

3 c rolled oats
1 c slivered almonds
1 c pecan halves or cashews (high fat nuts)
3/4 c shredded coconut
1/4 c plus 2 T dark brown sugar
1/4 c plus 2 T maple syrup
1/4 c vegetable oil
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 c raisins or dried cranberries

Directions:

Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
In a large bowl, combine the oats, nuts, coconut, and brown sugar.
In a separate bowl, combine maple syrup, oil, and salt. Combine both mixtures and pour onto 2 sheet pans. Cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to achieve an even color.
Remove from oven and transfer into a large bowl. Add raisins/dried cranberries and mix until evenly distributed.
