In a small bowl, combine the wet ingredients and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the oats, nuts and coconut.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir to combine.
Place the entire mixture on a large baking sheet that has been lined with foil and sprayed or you can use parchment paper.
Bake in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes.
Remove the pan from the oven and stir the granola. Then return the pan to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes.
Take the pan out and stir again.
You will keep doing this until the granola is nice and brown.
Set your timer! Because, you could forget and end up with a huge mess on your hands.
After the granola has cooled down, you can add dried fruit, sunflower seeds, mini chocolate chips; whatever is your favorite!
Store in an air-tight container for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
Make sure you allow the granola to cool completely before adding it to the mason jars.
If you don't want to use mason jars, you could use cellophane gift bags. Just keep in mind that the granola will not stay as fresh as it will in the mason jar.
If you want to keep the granola for your family, you can store it in an air-tight plastic container either in the pantry or refrigerator.
