Oats & Coconut Granola

From here. I pretty much followed it spot on except I didn't worry about exact measurements.

3 cups oats
1 cup slivered almonds
1 cup cashews
3/4 cup shredded sweet coconut
1/4 c. plus 2 tbsp dark brown sugar
1/4 c. plus 2 tbsp maple syrup
1/4 c vegetable oil
3/4 c salt
1 c raisins (I did half with raisins and half without)

Mix dry ingredients except raisons together. Combine wet ingredients in a separate bowl. Mix them together and pour onto two sheet pans. Cook for 1 hour and 15 mins. Stir every 15 mins to get an even color.
