Easy Granola Recipe

Our family has loved this granola recipe for years. Great for breakfast, a snack, eaten over ice cream or yogurt...just YUM!!!

7 cups uncooked oatmeal (regular or quick cooking)
2 cups shredded coconut (sweetened or not)
1 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon sea salt (regular salt is ok, but I am partial to fine sea salt!)
3/4 cup melted butter (Use only real butter, because if I find out you didn't, I will chew you out!! This granola is not worth making without real butter!

Mix dry ingredients in huge bowl, or it will slop annoyingly over the side as you stir. Mix in melted butter. Put mixture in large pan or cookie sheet...I use a large pyrex pan. Bake at 350, stirring occasionally until most of the coconut is lightly browned. It is REALLY good eaten hot over ice cream!! When cooled, you can mix in dried fruits, nuts, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds, chocolate chips, etc. Store in airtight container!
