Granola

The perfect homemade snack. I also love to put some in my cereal in the morning. SO. GOOD.

5 cups quick oats

1 cup coconut
1 cup almonds (or any other nut - optional - chopped or sliced)
1/3 cup sunflower seed (optional)
1 cup powdered milk
1 cup honey
1/2 cup olive oil
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. chocolate chips/raisins/etc. (optional)

Mix dry ingredients in KitchenAid or by hand. Add wet into KitchenAid until completely covered. Spread onto greased cookie sheet. Bake @ 300 degrees for 30 minutes.

**Notes: It's good with and without the coconut. I don't use sunflower seeds, instead I add 1 cup Craisens and any other dried fruit instead, e.g. dried mangos. And I usually only put 1/2 tsp. salt. I don't like it too salty. I don't put the Chocolate Chips in, dried fruit makes up for it.
