Can you give me a really healthy homemade granola recipe

I don't want it to contain any vegetable oil, butter, margarine, or sugar. All-natural sweeteners such as raw honey and pure maple syrup are OK. Thank you for your help! Can you give me a really healthy homemade granola recipe
Ingredients:


10 cups old fashioned oats


1/2 cup wheat germ


1/2 cup milled flax seed


1/2 lb unsweetened dried shredded coconut


1 cup sesame seed


1 1/2 cups slivered almonds


1 1/2 cups chopped pecans


1 cup brown sugar substitute (regular brown sugar can be used)


1 1/2 cups water


3/4 cup canola oil


1/2 cup honey


1/2 cup sorghum (molases can be used but the sorghum produces a lighter flavor)


1 1/2 teaspoons salt


2 teaspoons cinnamon


1 tablespoon vanilla


2 cups dried fruit (combination of raisins, blueberries, cranberries)


---------------------------------


Directions:


1Preheat oven to 300 degrees.


2In a large bowl combine oats, wheat germ, flax seed, coconut, sesame seeds and nuts, mixing well.


3In a large saucepan, combine the brown sugar substitute or brown sugar, water, oil, honey, sorghum, salt, cinnamon and vanilla.


4Heat until thoroughly mixed; do not boil.


5Pour the syrup over dry ingredients and stir until coated well.


6Spread into five 13 x 9 inch jelly roll pans.


7Bake 20 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.


8For a crunchier texture, bake an additional 10 to 15 minutes.


9Cool mixture and add dried fruit.


10Store in airtight container in a cool dry place.


11Will keep up to 6 months; but it doens't make it that long in our house.
