Maple Nut Granola
Amy, another local NH mom, at What Did She Do Today? posted what I thought was a fabulous granola recipe that I had to try. Sure enough, it was delicious! Steve thought this granola I made before was good, but he said this one was even better.
I substituted cashews with walnuts and put in 1/2 cup raisins and 1/2 cup Craisins. Very yum, especially with the local maple syrup!
Maple Nut Granola1 cup slivered almonds
1 cup cashews
3/4 cup shredded sweet coconut
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons maple syrup
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup raisins
Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
In a large bowl, combine the oats, nuts, coconut, and brown sugar.
In a separate bowl, combine maple syrup, oil, and salt. Combine both mixtures and pour onto 2 sheet pans. Cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to achieve an even color.
Remove from oven and transfer into a large bowl. Add raisins and mix until evenly distributed.
Enjoy!

I've tried to keep 'em simple. But I suggest you save away a copy before mending your blog template.
I see the template is looking so much better with the colors and imagery you've added to it.
