Granola II - Testing

 
I'd really like to make granola, and the ingredients seem so luxurious. How can I make them more local-friendly?

1 - This is very rich, with the nuts and such and it does clump better, but the flavor of Granola I is better. 

1 cup roasted hazelnuts
1/2 cup raw walnut halves or pieces
1 1/4 cup rolled oats (not quick cooking)
2/3 cups mixed dried fruit
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
2 tsps. cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup + 2 Tbsps. maple syrup
1/4 cup (or 2 Tbsps?) oil
2 tsps. vanilla extract
  1. Set aside 1/2 of the almonds hazelnuts and 1/2 of the walnuts and process to a coarse sandlike texture in a food processor.
  2. Fine chop the rest of the almonds and walnuts.
  3. Mix everything together until uniform.
  4. Use parchment paper in a cookie sheet, very sticky. 
  5. Spread the granola into a 1/2" layer and press down lightly to slightly compact.
  6. Bake 300F, 20 mins, stir, 30 minutes more.
  7. Cool for at least an hour before breaking apart to store and eat.
