Granola Recipe

Thanks, Eileen, for sharing this easy and delicious recipe:

I was watching a Michael Symon show and he gave this granola recipe so I made it gluten free and it turned out really well. It does make a lot ! Measurements don’t have to be exact.

a package of GF rolled quick oats (not instant)
a package of cashews (or other nuts)
a package of slivered almonds
a package if shredded unsweetened coconut
cinnamon
3/4 C olive oil
1/2 to 3/4 honey
pinch of salt
dried fruit **

Mix all together

Bake at 325 degrees on a half sheet pan spread the granola out in a layer maybe about 1″ thick for 30-40 minutes until golden brown. Mix half way through baking.

**You can add dried fruit after baking (I added dried cherries and raisins after baking)

Freezes well
