Ingredients:
3 cups rolled oats 
1 cup nuts 
1/3 cup maple syrup or honey 
1/3 cup coconut oil 
1 tbsp cinnamon 
1 tsp nutmeg 
1/2 tsp Salt 
1 tbsp vanilla 
1/3 cup cranberry 
1/2 cup dried strawberries 


Method:
This delicious granola is easy to make. Heat the oven to 180C and line the pan with parchment paper. 
Mix the oats and any mix of nuts almonds, cashews, pumpkin seeds, pecans or walnuts in a bowl and stir to blend. In a separate bowl mix the honey, coconut oil, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and salt. 
If you like your granola more on the sweeter side you can add a little more than 1/3 cup of maple syrup or honey.
Pour the liquid mixture into the oats and nuts. Mix well, until all is coated very well. 
Spread the granola out evenly on the baking sheet and lightly press it. Bake for 20 - 25 minutes and stir once halfway through. Next remove pan from the oven and leave it cool to room temperature than add the dried strawberries and cranberries. 
Once the granola is cold, store in an air tight container. Enjoy!
