Almond/Walnut-Coconut Granola

Jellyqueen's Note:

This is my version of a granola recipe I saw on Sarah's Secrets one day. I did make a few changes to suit our taste, but the recipe is basically the same. This is wonderful eaten dry or with milk.

Great blend of flavor and easy to mix up. I've enjoyed this granola dry so far, but I'll be having some with milk in the morning. Yummy stuff. I did pull the pan out and give it a stir a few times, since it was browning quickly.

A very nice granola. The first morning I ate some without the fruit and thought it a bit salty, but once I bought the fruit and added it, it was just right. I added dried pineapple, mango, papaya and unsweetened bananas. Very tasty! Thanks for posting!
