Granola

Granola
This is a riff from granola a la Gluten Free Goddess.
~4 cups GF oats (I use Bob's red mill)
~1/2 cup chopped hazelnuts
~1/2 cup chopped pecans (i put the hazelnuts and pecans in a food processor together)
~1/2 t sea salt (sometimes I leave it out)
6 tablespoons coconut oil (i use organic)
goodly dollop of peanut butter (maybe between 4 T to 1/4 cup)
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 oz unsweetened baking chocolate, chopped into small pieces(optional)
1/2 - 1 cup chopped dried cherries or apricots (optional)

Heat oven to 325. Get out large baking pan - I use 11 X 15 inches, but bigger might work even better.
Mix together dry ingredients in large bowl or baking pan. Heat coconut oil in a small skillet over medium heat. After melted, add peanut butter and maple syrup until incorporated. Mix wet ingredients into oat mixture and bake for 30 minutes. Stir once or twice while baking. 

If you fancy chocolate, add it and stir well until it melts onto the granola, after it bakes. If you like, add dried fruit. I cool the granola in the baking pan.
