Yummo Granola!  I love granola but the cost of it in the store is crazy.  Also a lot of the granolas have wheat in it so therefore Brooklyn can't eat them.  This way I know exactly what is in it and it is relatively healthy.

Ingredients:
1 Tablespoon coconut oil
2 1/2 cups rolled oats
1/3 cup butter
2 tablespoons honey
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup nuts (I used peanuts but you could also almonds)
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup dried coconut

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.  Add oats then cook and stir until starting to brown and crisp, about 5 minutes.  Remove from heat and spread out on a cookie sheet to cool.

Melt the butter in the same pan over medium heat.  Stir in the honey and brown sugar; cook stirring constantly, until bubbly.  Return the oats to the pan.  Stir in cranberries, nuts etc at this point.  Cook and stir for another 5 minutes or so.  Pour out onto the cookie sheets and spread evenly.  I cooked mine at 250 degrees for 40 minutes and stirred it every 15 minutes or when I remembered.  Remove from oven and cool completely.  Break apart if needed.
