Easton Place Granola

Last week I had the pleasure of hosting brunch for a few friends. Whenever I have a party, I like giving a little parting gift. Often I make personalized stationery or other paper lovelies (for obvious reasons), but this time I thought I'd change things up a bit and make granola for my guests to take home. Today I'm sharing the recipe with you as well as printable recipe cards... a card for you and one for a friend perhaps!

Ingredients
4 cups Bob's Red Mill gluten free rolled oats
2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
1 cup sunflower seeds
1 cup pepitas
3/4 cup canola oil
1/2 cup local clover honey
1/4 cup molasses
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/8 tsp. nutmeg
1 cup raisins


Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.Toss the oats, coconut, and seeds in a large glass bowl. In a separate bowl whisk together the oil, honey, molasses, vanilla and spices. Pour the liquids over the oat mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until well coated. Pour mixture onto a large baking pan. Bake, stirring occasionally, until the granola becomes golden brown, about 35 minutes.

• Remove the granola from the oven, spread out onto sheets of parchment paper and allow to cool. Once cooled, pour back into baking pan and mix in raisins. Store in airtight container.

This granola is a full-flavored granola. A little goes a long way in the taste department. My favorite way to enjoy this recipe is to sprinkle over Stoneyfield Banilla yogurt and mixed berries. Perfect for breakfast or a mid-morning snack!
