Pumpkin Seed Granola

I've been on the search for a good granola recipe for years now. I had one that always burnt and another that tasted so nasty it was impossible to eat. A couple weeks ago, in Enzo's preschool, a mom brought the most tasty granola I have ever had. I think it's the coconut and the salted roasted pumpkin seeds that makes this so delicious. She gave me the recipe and Enzo and I made it together. It's easy to make and yields about 8 cups. We go through a bag of Trader Joe's granola, which is about 4 cups, every week so I'm glad this recipe will last us a little more than the usual.

Crunchy Granola

• 4 cups oats
• 1 cup coconut slices
  
• 1 cup raw sunflower seeds
• 1/2 cup raw sesame seeds
• 1 1/2 cups raw almonds
• 1/2 cup flax meal
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/2 cup coconut oil (I used melted butter because I was all out of coconut oil but I recommend using coconut oil. It's so much better for you and has a nice taste)
  
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 cup roasted salted pumpkin seeds
• 1 cup raisins

1. preheat oven to 250*
2. mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl except for the pumpkin seeds and the raisins. (this is the part that Enzo could do all by himself)
3. Place the mixture on a cookie sheet bake for 1 1/2 -2 hours mixing EVERY 2o minutes.
4. When done add the pumpkin seeds and the raisins.
5. Let it cool down completely before storing in an air tight container.
