Almond Raisin Date Granola

Almond Raisin Date Granola
2 cups old-fashioned oats
1 cup almonds, sliced or chopped
1/2 cup wheat germ
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
ground cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, as desired
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup molasses
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup dates, chopped
Preheat oven to 350F. Line a 9x13 inch rectangular baking pan with parchment paper. 
Stir together the oats, almonds, wheat germ, coconut, and spices in the baking pan. Drizzle the oil and molasses over top and mix. 
Bake for 40 minutes, stirring every ten minutes until golden.
Add the raisins and dates and let cool before stirring.

This is just another granola cereal recipe I tried. I really like this one, as it is easy, hearty, and I really like the flavor combinations, but you can vary the type of nuts and dried fruit as you wish.
