Almond Maple Coconut Granola

After trying many granola recipes that just had way too much sugar and oil, I sought out to make my own. This recipe is still sweet and tasty without the loads of sugars and oils. This is also a very large-yielding recipe, as I make it in bulk and store it so I won't have to make it for a while. I hope you enjoy this recipe!
