Coconut, Currant, Almond Granola

Ingredients:

4 Cups oats
2 Cups or more shredded coconut
2 Cups sliced almonds
3/4 Cup coconut oil
1/2 Cup honey or agave syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup dried currants


Directions:


Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Toss the oats, coconut and almonds together.  Melt the oil and the honey (if it has thickened) then whisk the oil, honey, and vanilla together.  Pour the liquid mizture over the oats and toss until the oats are coated.  Spread the granola mixture across a pan and bake for 45 minutes or until the mixture is golden brown.  The aromatic scent of the granola will typically signal that it is near completion.  Also, turn the granola half-way through cooking to ensure even browning of the oats.  When the granola is complete, remove from the oven and add the currants to the mixture.  Store in an airtight container and enjoy.
