pistachio fig granola

3 cups rolled oats

1/3 cup unsweet coconut flakes

1 tsp cinnamon
1tsp nutmeg
1/4 cup brown sugar
3 tbsp flax seeds

1/4 cup sunflower seeds

1/4 cup pumpkin seeds

1/4 cup grapeseed (or canola) oil
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp maple syrup
2 tsp vanilla extract

1/3 cup shelled pistachios
1/4 cup shaved almonds

2 cups dried figs, chopped into small pieces *add after baking

combine all ingredients (except the nuts and figs) in large bowl and mix well. spread on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 for about 30 minutes. set your timer and stir granola every 7/8 minutes.

during the 2nd stirring, so after about 15 minutes, add the nuts. if you add them too early they toast too much and even start burning.

once granola is done, allow to cool then stir in fig pieces.
