• Preheat the oven to 300 F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the oats, pecans, cinnamon, cranberries and salt. In another bowl, whisk together the maple syrup with the coconut oil and vanilla extract. Pour the mixture all over the oat mixture, and stir to combine thoroughly.
• Spread the mixture evenly out on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 45 minutes, stirring the granola every 15 minutes with a large wooden spoon. Remove from the oven, and allow the granola to cool completely before adding the chocolate chips (if using). Break the cooled granola up and store in an airtight container. Enjoy!

ULTIMATE IRRESISTIBLE GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, stir together the oats, almonds, walnuts, pecans, sesame seeds, wheat germ, coconut and sunflower seeds. In a small pan over medium heat, stir together the oil and honey. Cook and stir until blended. You could also do this in a large measuring cup in the microwave, heating for about 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Pour over the oat mixture, and stir to coat evenly. Spread out in an even layer on two cookie sheets.
• Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until the oats and nuts are toasted. Immediately after it comes out of the oven, stir in the raisins and dried cranberries. Let stand until cooled, and stir again to break up any large clusters. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks, but I guarantee it won't be around that long!
