Cranberry & Pecan Granola

Not my recipe, but one from a friend. I love this granola!

Ingredients:
4 ½ cups rolled oats
¼ cup oat bran
½ cup sunflower seeds
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
½ cup sliced almonds
1 cup chopped pecans
½ teaspoon nutmeg
1/3 cup vegetable oil (I use safflower)
½ cup real maple syrup
2 tablespoons molasses
2 teaspoons vanilla
¾ cup crystallized ginger, chopped into small pieces
¾ cup dried cranberries

Directions:
Preheat oven to 250F.

Mix together the dry ingredients (except fruit). Combine the wet ingredients in a measuring cup, and pour into dried. You’ll need to stir and really mash it around to get it all combined – it may seem at first as though it can’t possibly be enough liquid to cover everything. Pour into prepared pan.

Bake in oven 40-45 minutes, stirring at 10 minute intervals, until golden brown. Let granola cool, then add fruit and stir to combine. Store in an air-tight container, and serve with yogurt.
