Cinnamon-Raisin Granola

Found this on Allrecipes.com, The best online site for trusted recipes. Simple, few ingredients. Makes a great snack or with milk as morning cereal. I double it and keep in large canister. I usually add some chopped walnuts or almonds and some flax seed. Anything goes, I guess.
Ingredients:
4 cups old-fashioned oats
1 cup shredded coconut
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup raisins
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine oats and coconut; set aside. In a saucepan, combine brown sugar, oil, honey and cinnamon; bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and stir in vanilla. Pour over oat mixture; stir to coat. Spread in a large shallow baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cool. Add raisins, 1/4 cup ground flax. 1 cup nuts. Store in an airtight container.
