Crunchy granola with coconut, nuts and seeds
4 cups rolled oats (not quick)
1 1/2 cup raw almonds
1/2 cup raw pecans
3/4 cup unsweetened flaked coconut
1/2 cup salted roasted sunflower seeds
2 T each white sesame seeds & black sesame seeds
2 T flax seeds
1/4 t freshly ground black pepper
1/2 t ground cardamom
1/4 t cinnamon
1/2 cup roasted walnut oil (melted coconut oil, butter, or veg oil will be fine substitutes)
1/4 cup agave syrup (or honey)
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup orange juice

In a large bowl, combine the oats through to the cinnamon. Add in the remaining ingredients and give everything a big stir until everything is well mixed. Spread out the granola evenly onto 2 large baking sheets or glass pans and bake in a 300F oven for 30 minutes or until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Cool and store in a tightly lidded container.
