2 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup wheat bran
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1/2 cup chopped almonds
1/2 cup sunflower or pumpkin seeds
1/2 cup canola oil
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
salt, to taste
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup chopped dried apricots
1/3 cup golden raisins
1 T grated orange zest

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly oil a rimmed baking sheet.

In a bowl, combine the oats, bran, coconut, almonds and sunflower seeds. Set aside.

Combine the oil, honey, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a small saucepan and cook over low heat to dissolve the sugar. Toss well with the dry ingredients.

Spread the mixture evenly on the baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes, or until the granola is golden brown.

Return granola to the bowl; combine well with the remaining ingredients. Cool completely; pack into airtight containers for up to two weeks.
