Pre-heat the oven to 180 c. Put the dry granola ingredients including the coconut and but not the dried fruit , on a baking tray. Sir well. Add the maple syrup or honey and stir again. Bake in a pre-heated oven for 25-30 minutes. Remember to take the tray out every 5 minutes and give it a good stir and smooth out before putting it back in the oven.While it's roasting, chop up any large sized dried fruit. When the granola is nice and golden,  remove it from oven and mix it with the dried fruit.

Once it's cooled down, serve it with a dollop of natural yogurt and some brown sugar if needed. The granola stays in an airtight container for more than 2 weeks.
