Granola

This granola recipe is SOOOOOOOo delicious! I am hooked, for sure. I am going to have to make this on a regular basis, and possibly double the batch each time.It was the hit of my party the other night, and I ate the leftovers for a nightime snack, and then for breakfast. A friend of mine who was at the party approached me today and wanted to know what she needed to get, to make that granola immediately. I will share the recipe with you. It is seriously good...yum!

Here is the video of Kelsey Nixon making the granola.

1⁄2 c sweetened flaked coconut
1⁄2 c raw cashews (I bought lightly salted cashew pieces, in the snack aisle)
1⁄3 c THRIVE brown sugar (THRIVE brown sugar is AMAZING! It is so rich, and has a really deep molasses flavor and aroma. It's good stuff...)
1⁄2 t ground allspice
1 1⁄2 t ground cinnamon
