Cranberry Granola

4 cups rolled oats (not instant)1/4 cup shredded coconut
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup molasses
1/4 cup agave
1 cup dried cranberries
1 cup golden raisins
1/4 cup currants

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Measure and mix all the dry ingredients. Add the oil and mix well. Combine molasses and honey in a measuring cup that was used for the oil, it will pour our easier this way. Mix well to combine making sure all the dry ingredients are coated well with the molasses and honey.

Spread in a jelly roll pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray or a cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, stir; bake for 10 minutes, stir. Take out of the oven and stir several times while it is cooling. Add the fruit. Once totally cooled store in an airtight container. This recipe doubles very easily. We use it sprinkled on yogurt for a snack, or as a breakfast cereal. I haven't tried it with agave nectar yet - but will let you know how that turns out once I do.
