Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a large rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside.
- In a large bowl, stir together the old-fashioned oats, quick-cooking oats, whole wheat flour, flaxseed, cinnamon, salt, whole almonds, slivered almonds, sunflower seeds, walnut pieces, 1/2 cup coconut flakes, 1/2 cup dried cranberries.
- In a small pan over low heat, add the coconut oil, 1/2 cup honey, brown sugar and vanilla. Stir constantly until coconut oil is melted and mixture is smooth. Pour over dry ingredients and stir together with a wooden spoon or your hands until dry ingredients are mostly coated. Stir in water until granola mixture is wet and a little mushy.
- Press mixture evenly into prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with 1/4 cup honey. Bake for 30 minutes or until granola starts to toast and turn a golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool completely in pan on a wire rack.
- Once granola is cool, break it into large chunks and gently toss the chunks with a spatula so the sides that aren't golden brown are now on top. Drizzle with remaining 1/4 cup honey. Return to oven for 10-15 minutes or until granola is evenly toasted and golden brown.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup coconut flakes and 1/2 cup dried cranberries. Let cool completely. Store in a jar or bag that's not completely sealed so granola stays crunchy.

MOLASSES MAPLE GRANOLA - BIG BATCH! (CAN BE REDUCED!)
Got a craving for blackstrap molasses...high in calcium, iron & potassium. Got to thinking about the molasses horsefeed we used to dig through to find lumps of oat & cracked corn covered molasses to knaw on ...MMMmmmmm...Therefore made this big batch up for self-serve breakfasts while travelling on contract (& to know DH will not be looking for the super saturated sugary cereals in my absence - LOL). After thoroughly cooled, I bag in gallon freezer bags & freeze until wanted - I fill bags about 1/2 full & express as much air as possible before freezing. Blackstrap is a robust taste & I am sure a lighter grade would work well but not be as nutritious. I would also increase salt to 1 teaspoon if using a lighter grade molasses. The nuts are purchased raw, not preroasted if possible. I like to use sultanas, raisins, currants, chopped dates & figs, dried blueberries or cherries, depending on what I have onhand.

Steps:
- In a LARGE bowl, mix oats, flax, nuts & coconut.
- In a second bowl, mix all wet ingredients, including cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar & salt. Mix until blended with spatula or wooden spoon.
- Pour wet onto dry and stir thoroughly. Stir, stir & stir.
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
- Line cookie sheets (the sided kind) with aluminum foil & layer granola onto prepared sheets about 1/2 inch thick. Multiple sheets allow cooking to go faster.
- Toast 30 minutes, stirring once.
- Remove from oven & cool (I use another cookie sheet & put 1/2 of toasted mix on it to speed cooling.
- Repeat until granola all toasted.
- When cooled, return to original BIG mixing bowl & add dried fruit of choice & mix thoroughly. Alternatively, leave fruit out & add at serving time (harder for me to remember).
- Bag in amounts that are workable for you & freeze until used. May recrisp 5 minutes in 300 degree oven if it softens with storage.
