- 5 cup old-fashioned oats
- ½ cup sliced almonds
- ½ cup shredded, unsweetened coconut
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon cardamom
- ½ teaspoon allspice
- ½ cup golden raisins
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- For one orange, zest it using a zester or microplane, and juice it. Add the zest and juice to a small, microwaveable bowl.
- Add vegetable oil, almond butter, agave nectar, and vanilla to the bowl. Place in the microwave and heat for 2 minutes. Remove and stir to make a smooth mixture.

- Pour in orange-almond butter mixture and stir well to combine.
- For the remaining two oranges, peel them and slice them into small pieces. Stir into the granola mixture.

- Bake for about 20 minutes, stirring every five minutes, until golden brown.
- Remove, stir in raisins, and cool. Leave uncovered at room temperature for several hours to further dry oranges.
- Place granola in an airtight container and refrigerate (due to softness of oranges).
