Yummy Granola

GRANOLA

I love granola and this recipe looked really easy so I had to try it. The original recipe called for dried fruits, which would be good, but I opted to not put them in mine.

 

4 C old fashioned oats

1/2 C sliced almonds

1/2 C coarsely chopped pecans

1/2 C coconut flakes

1 tsp ground cinnamon

a pinch of salt

1/3 C vegetable oil

1/4 C honey

1/2 C light brown sugar

1 tsp vanilla

 

*Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Lightly coat a cookie sheet with non stick cooking spray. In a large bowl, stir together oats, almonds, pecans, coconut, cinnamon and salt. Set aside. In a small saucepan, combine oil, honey and sugar. Bring to a boil and remove from heat. Stir in vanilla. Drizzle over oat mixture and toss until evenly coated. Pour onto prepared cookie sheet and spread evenly. Bake, stirring occasionally until golden brown (about 25 minutes). Let granola cool completely. Break up and store in an airtight container.
