Granola instructions
- I grated my coconut and lightly toasted in a dry hot frying pan. Chop up the cashew nuts and almond nuts..
- In a bowl pour all the ingredients except the raisins and mix thoroughly. (You can toast most nuts in the oven but dried fruit tend to burn so it's better you add the raisins after baking the granola).
- Spread on a baking tray and put in an oven for 20 minutes. After 10 or 15 minutes bring out the tray and turn the granola so that the bottom part will come to the top if not, the top layer will be dark and the bottom will not have an even color..
- When its ok, it will looked toasted or "baked" but not burnt obviously, bring it out of the oven and allow to cool. So using a low oven temperature helps to dry out the granola without over baking it..
