Gourmet Granola

Cooking Instructions:
o 2 cups old-fashioned oats
o Nonstick vegetable oil spray
o 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
o 1/2 cup pine nuts
o 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
o 1/2 cup cashews
o 1/2 cup macadamia nuts
o 1/4 cup sesame seeds
o 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
o 1/4 cup vegetable oil
o 1/4 cup Brwon Rice Syrup
o 1/2 cup raisins
Preheat oven to 250°F. Place oats on large rimmed baking sheet. Bake until oats are lightly toasted, stirring occasionally, about 5 – 10 minutes. Transfer baked oats to large bowl. Increase oven temperature to 325°F. Heavily spray same rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray. Mix shredded coconut, all nuts, and sesame seeds into baked oats. Whisk maple syrup, vegetable oil, and rice syrup to blend in small bowl. Pour over oat mixture; toss to coat evenly. Spread granola on prepared rimmed baking sheet. Bake in middle of oven until deep golden, about 25 minutes or longer until toasted, stirring occasionally so that mixture does not burn. Mix in raisins last 5 minutes. Cool granola on sheet.
