Ingredients




1 cup x 18 oz. container, or about 6- ½ organic (or regular) old-fashioned rolled oa
2 cups raw pistachios
1 1/2 cups roughly chopped raw pecans
2 1/2 cups unsweetened coconut flakes
1/2 cup flax seeds
1 1/2 tablespoons cups+ 2 maple syrup
1 tablespoon cup+ 2 extra virgin olive oil
1 cup packed light brown sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3/4 cup roughly chopped dried cherries
3/4 cup golden raisins





Preparation

1 Preheat oven to 300 degrees. 2 In a large bowl, stir together maple syrup, olive oil, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon and cardamom until all the spices and sugar are absorbed and distributed well. 3 Add the oats, pistachios, pecans, flax seeds and coconut and gently stir. 4 Spread about 1/2 of the mixture onto two rimmed baking sheet in an even layer and bake in the two topmost rack levels for about 40-45 minutes. 5 Take both trays out and stir up in 10 minute increments, rotating the trays each time, and bake until everything is golden and toasted. 6 Transfer to another large tray and let it cool down, away from the heat. 7 Repeat with the remaining half of the granola mixture and bake until toasted, and then cool down. You should have enough granola mixture for about 4 trays - if cutting the recipe in half, you'll probably be able to do this in one go in the oven with two trays. 8 When the granola is cool enough to handle, run your hands through it and break up any large clumps. 9 Transfer the granola to a large bowl and add your dried cherries and raisins and mix to combine well.
