- Whisk together the oil and honey in small bowl and pour over the oat mixture and stir with wooden spoon until all the oats, coconut and nuts are coated.

Wonderful granola! This makes a whole lot of granola! Be sure to watch your oven, my granola was done about 10 minutes before time indicated. I replaced the figs with chopped dates and also added in 1 cup of dried blueberries to the mix. This will be great for snacking, or as a topping for yogurt and fresh fruit! Thank you for sharing, Irish Rose! : )
