This recipe is under the New Recipes tab and I've been meaning to make it for a while, since my husband is such a big cereal fan. It was definitely tasty... I almost felt bad pouring milk all over it because it stands so well on its own. This is the kind of granola that if you eat too much your jaw will start to ache from all the chewy fruit and nuts... but that's a good thing!
I bought lots of my fruit and nuts in the bulk section at our grocery store because I wanted to have some good stuff in there... usually I find the unsweetened coconut there but they didn't have any so I took a glance in the baking aisle. This bag was only $1 and I found the granola didn't lack any sweetness. The recipe didn't really specify, so now you know you can use whichever.
And this is my granola in the vintage Tupperware container that Janice recently passed down to us in their effort to downsize. Now I'm a true hippie granola mom!

I am practically addicted to this granola! There is something unique about the salty/sweet and the slight hint of olive oil that makes it taste like nothing you ever had.
Because I am the only one that eats my granola--David just wants his usual flake cereal--I have started leaving out fruits, except diced dates, as in time, other fruits will soften the crunchiness of this granola. I just throw in random dried fruits with each bowl.
One other tip...don't put the coconut into the mix in the oven until the last 15 minutes or so--it browns very quickly and looses some of its sweetness when it does.
