1/4 cup slivered almonds
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup raisins

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Melt the butter in a 15-by-10-inch jelly roll pan. Stir in the brown sugar until combined, then stir in the oats, almonds, and walnuts. Spread the mixture in an even layer in the pan. Bake the granola for 12 to 15 minutes or until it is golden brown, stirring twice during the baking process. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and cool. When the mixture is completely cool, stir in the raisins, dates, apricots, and chocolate chips. Store it in an airtight container. Makes about 5 1/2 cups. | |
