Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.  Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together honey, oil, brown sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and cinnamon.

Step 3

Gently fold in the oats and the nuts. Spread the mixture onto the baking sheet.  Bake for 35 to 45 minutes rotating the baking sheet half way though baking.

Step 4

Starting from when you rotate the pan (around 18 minutes), keep a very close eye on your granola. Check on it every few minutes, especially as you start to smell it more. It can burn very quickly. As it starts to turn golden around the edges, it will need only a few minutes more.

Step 5

Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Allow to cool for an hour. Break apart the granola and mix in the dried fruit. Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
