Here's a quick and easy recipe for granola, you will love it!
3 cups old-fashion rolled oats
2/3 cups sliced almonds
1/2 cup unsweetened desiccated coconut
1/3 cup sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup unsalted butter
6 TBSP honey or agave
1 cup mixed dried raisins, cherries, cran-raisins, or apricots
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325. In a large bowl stir together oats, almonds, coconut, pumpkin or sunflower seeds, and salt. In a small saucepan melt butter with honey over low heat, stirring. Pour butter mixture over oat mixture and stir until combined well.
In a large jelly roll pan (or cookie sheet with a lip on it) spread your granola evenly and bake in the middle of the oven, stirring it halfway through baking. Bake it until it's golden brown for about 15 minutes. Cool your granola in its pan on a rack and stir in dried fruits. You can keep your granola in an airtight container at room temperature for about 2 weeks and enjoy it all the time!

This granola is awesome! I subsituted the nuts and seeds to what I had laying around (macadameia, almonts, pecans) and omitted the dried fruit. I didn't have unsweetened coconut, so I used the sweetened kind and cut the honey in half. So delicious, thanks for posting!
Speaking of unsweetened coconut...why can't I find it anywhere? Tips on where to get it?
I get mine at "Lassen's", I would also suspect Whole Foods might have it???
