Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 300

Mix the oats, nuts and grains in a large bowl.

Measure oil into a measuring cup and swirl it around before pouring onto bowl.

Measure out the honey in same unwashed cup. The oil will help the honey pour out of the cup.

Toss everything together until evenly coated and then pour out into a baking pan. Use a large roasting pan as it keeps everything contained. A cookie sheet with a lip also works but you have to stir it slightly more carefully if you go that route.

Bake at 300 degrees for 30 minutes turning it with a spatula every ten minutes or so. You want everything to be an even golden brown.

When it is finished cooking, return baked granola to mixing bowl and add the raisins and fruit, and stir to combine. Stir gently several times as it cooks so that it doesn't clump together too much.
