Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup chopped dried plums or Medjool dates
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened apple juice
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup raisins
  • 2 tablespoons chopped almonds
  • 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts
  • 2 tablespoons sunflower seeds
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350º F. In a small saucepan, add plums and water. Cook over medium heat 5 minutes, or until plums are softened. Transfer to a food processor or blender, and process until mixture is a thick paste.
  • In a large bowl, combine plum mixture, apple juice, olive oil, oats, raisins, almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds, and coconut. Stir well, making sure everything is well coated. Spread out on a baking sheet, and bake 5 minutes.
  • Stir granola, and bake another 5 minutes, or until lightly browned. Let cool (will become more crispy as it cools), and store in an airtight container.
  • Yield: 8 servings (serving size: about 1/4 cup)
