In a large mixing bowl, mix together all granola ingredients except the blueberries and cranberries.
Spread the granola ingredients evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake at 350°F for 40 minutes. Stir after 20 minutes and bake another 20 minutes or until golden brown and crunchy.
Remove from the oven and stir in the dried blueberries and cranberries. *see note.
Cool completely and store in an airtight container.

Once the baked granola has cooled, yo can store it in an airtight container, at room temperature, and it will be good for a month. You can also freeze it for up to 4 months in a ziplock bag. When ready to use, thaw and add the dried fruits, if desired. The granola is delicious even without the dried fruit!
