This is one of our regular island spiced breakfasts. We like ours served with sliced bananas and almond milk (or yogurt for a non-vegan).
Ingredients
4 cups Old Fashioned oats
1/8 cup brown sugar (1/4 cup if you prefer a sweeter granola)
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
1 ½ TBSP ground cinnamon
1 ½ TBSP ground ginger
¼ tsp ground cardamom
¼ tsp ground cloves
¾ cup shredded unsweetened coconut
1/3 cup coconut oil (alternate use vegetable oil)
¼ cup molasses (not blackstrap)
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup raisins (or dried cranberries, or both mixed)
Directions
• Preheat oven to 275 F
• Mix all dry ingredients (except raisins), add oil, then molasses and stir to mix well
• Place onto 2 baking sheets (silicone baking sheets work best)
• Bake for 20-25 minutes, tossing every 5-10 minutes. Watch for burning, as soon as it starts to brown, call it done. Allow to cool and mix in the raisins.
• Store in mason jars or a well-sealed container.
