Easy Goji Berry Granola

By

I have always made my own granola. I like knowing exactly what is in my granola and controlling how much fat and sugar go into it. This particular version is created in a skillet on top of the stove. It's rather tasty. I like to think that with the addition of Goji berries it just got healthier. Makes a large 2 litre container.

Preparation

Step 1

Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter, brown sugar, honey, vanilla and almond extract. Cook and stir to melt.

Step 2

Add the oats, nuts and coconut to the skillet. Stir to coat well with the butter/sugar mixture.

Step 3

Continue to cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the granola is a dark golden brown. This will take 10 to 20 minutes and do keep an eye on it so that it doesn't catch and burn.

Step 4

Remove from the heat and pour out onto a baking sheet to cool completely. Add the dried fruit and mix in.

Step 5

Store in an airtight container.
