Stir-in:
- 1/3 cup raisins (or other dried fruit)

- In a large mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients.
- In a small bowl, combine wet ingredients. Stir to combine.
- Add wet ingredients to dry. Stir very well to thoroughly coat.
- Spread out granola evenly on the lined pan.
- Place in oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, stirring every 10-15 minutes.

Notes
- Yield: Recipe makes about 5 cups granola.
- Customizing: Add pumpkin seeds (pepitas), pecans, peanuts, or hemp hearts to the oat mixture. Or stir in dried cranberries, dried cherries, vegan chocolate chips, or coconut flakes after baking.
- Storing: Let it cool completely, then store in an airtight container or glass jar. We keep it in the fridge or pantry for a couple weeks.
