Ridiculously Easy and Yummy Granola

I love this stuff for breakfast, snacks, whatever.  So easy, so yummy, so healthy, so inexpensive and so versatile!  Does it get any better than that?

1/2 cup Coconut Oil, Butter or Olive Oil
1/2 cup Honey or real Maple Syrup (can use less if you don't want it quite so sweet)
6 cups Oats
2 teaspoons Cinnamon (optional)
1 teaspoon Vanilla (optional)
1/2 cup Dried, Unsweetened Coconut (I love this stuff)
Nuts and dried fruit (whatever kinds you like)

1-Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
2-Put coconut oil (or butter) in big microwavable bowl and melt (skip this step if using Olive Oil.)
3-Add everything else and stir it all up until well combined.
4-Line a baking sheet with foil or a silicon baking mat (everyone should have at least one of these!)
5-Spread granola out evenly on the baking sheet.
6-Bake for 15 minutes, take the pan out and stir the granola and then bake it for 15 more minutes.
7-Let it cool and then enjoy as is or add: chocolate chips or any dried fruit or nuts you like.  It's great as a snack or as cereal in a bowl with milk.
