Granola with tropical dried fruit

Heat the maple syrup, sugar and oil in a small pot until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Pour the entire container of oars in a large bowl. Pour the warmed sugar mixture over the oats. Mix with a wooden spoon until oats are evenly coated with the syrup mixture.

Spread the coated oats evenly onto a greased cookie sheet.

Toast the oat mixture in a 350 degree oven; mixing the oats and spreading out again every 5-10 minutes until the oats are toasted golden brown. Remove from oven.

Add nuts, toasted coconut, raisins, dried fruits....the selection is your personal choice. Experiment with the amount of nuts, etc. (the combinations of fruit, nuts and sugars are endless).
