Preheat oven to 300F. In a medium saucepan, mix the wet ingredients and simmer on low for 5-10 minutes, stirring frequently until mixed.

In a very large mixing bowl, mix together the dry ingredients.

Add the wet mixture (while still warm) over top the dry mixture and stir well (it will be very thick). Mix until everything is thoroughly combined.

Spread onto a pan lined with parchment paper and bake in the oven for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even baking.

Allow to cool for 20-25 minutes before serving. The granola will stiffen up as it cools.
