Cranberry Coconut Granola

With it being a hazy, lazy Sunday morning, I thought making granola would be a great way to bring some yummy smells into the apartment. Plus it'll be great fuel for when we start packing later today. Granola is also a great way to use up some of the odds and ends you have in your pantry. Be creative with different dried fruits, spices, and nuts.

Ingredients:

1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp salt
3 tbsp honey
2 tbsp vegetable oil
2 tbsp maple syrup
2 tbsp water
1 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 cups rolled oats (not instant)
1/2 cup dried unsweetened cranberries
1/3 cup dried coconut
1/2 cup pecans
1/4 roasted flax seed
Ingredients (I forgot to place the honey in the picture)

Place the vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, water, honey, maple syrup, salt and vegetable oil in a large bowl. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.  
Mix everything together.

Add the rolled oats, cranberries, pecans, coconut and flax seed to large bowl.

Mix everything together till the oats are well coated.

Spread on a parchment lined baking sheet. Place in oven for about 30 minutes.

Take out of oven and let cool completely. Place in an air-tight bag or container. Enjoy!
