I've written many times about homemade granola which is incredibly easy to prepare. By making your own granola you will avoid eating poor quality ingredients like refined sugars and oils. Customize your granola however you like: you'll need large flake oats, a good oil (like unrefined olive or canola or ideally coconut oil), honey, and your favourite granola ingredients: nuts, seeds, dried fruits.
Turn oven to 350C.
Place 10" x 13" pan in oven for 10 minutes to heat it up. Remove from oven and place two Tablespoons coconut oil in pan; it will melt.
Put 2 cups large flakes into pan and spread evenly.
Sprinkle with 1 tsp cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, sweet spice of your choice.
Bake for 8 minutes, then remove from oven.
Drizzle with 1/3 cup honey, then stir gently to ensure that all is evenly distributed.
Put back in oven for 6-10 minutes depending on level of brown-ness you prefer. Keep an eye on the pan because it will brown quickly.
Remove from oven and add in 1/2 cup each of raisins, sliced apricots, pecans, almonds and sesame seeds.
Cool for five minutes then stir up with a spatula to ensure cooling granola does not stick to bottom of pan.
