More granola

I had such a craving for more granola, so I looked up a recipe that didn't use pumpkin (I am out for now). I came across this recipe on orangette blog.

Granola

3 cups rolled oats (I used quick cooking)
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup shredded coconut
2 Tbsp sugar
Pinch salt
6 Tbsp honey
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 cup chocolate chips (I used semisweet chocolate chunks, but any chip would do- you could even mix up different flavors of chips)

1. Preheat oven to 300F
2. In small sauepan over medium-low heat, combine honey and oil and heat until runny.
3. Meanwhile in large bowl, combine oats, pecans, coconut, sugar, salt. Pour honey/oil mixture over oat mixture and toss to coat. I use my hands to press together to get a few chunkier pieces
4. Pour mixture onto greased baking sheet and bake at 300F for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and toss. Continue baking for 10 more minutes (or until oats are golden).
5. Allow to cool and add in chocolate chips (I added mine in when the mixture was still warm, and the pieces melted slightly allowing granola to stick to them, making a crunchier snack. I prefer it this way. To get the chips to set though, I had to store in the refrigerator).

YUM!
