Ella's Granola

This is my favorite granola recipe, simple and delicious!  I almost always have a jar of this sitting on the counter and it has definitely become a staple in our family.  I got this recipe years ago from my husbands (now my) aunt.  I remember having it at the very first Christmas I spent with my husbands family.  Family recipes are always extra delicious and I have now passed it on to my 3 year old Ella.  She does all the pouring, mixing and tasting!

Ella's Granola:

*all quantities can be adjusted according to taste

4 cups organic old fashioned rolled oats

1 cup organic unsweetened coconut

1 cup pecans

1 cup sliced almonds

1/4 c Vermont maple syrup

1/4 oil (coconut, organic canola)

Mix all ingredients together in a large mixing bowl.  Spread on a cookie sheet and bake at 275 for about 45-50 minutes.  I stir every 15 minutes or so to make sure everything stays even.  Let cool and enjoy!
