Homemade Granola (V/GF)

The beauty of this recipe is that you can use any dried fruit you'd like: raisins, dates, dried cherries, you name it! You can also add some extra goodies like chia seeds, pepitas, cacao nibs, whatever your heart desires! You could switch up the nuts too, but the pecans and hazelnuts are actually my favorite part of all this deliciousness!
