Granola

This recipe is good with yogurt--like you would use the store bought kind. Or you can use it just like breakfast cereal, like we do!

4 cups oats
1 1/2 cup chopped nuts (almonds and walnuts are both good)
1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup honey
1 tsp vanilla

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
Mix oats, sugar, nuts, salt, and cinnamon together. Mix oil, honey, vanilla together. You may want to heat the honey mixture but it's not necessary. Then add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Make sure you coat all the dry stuff! Then spread over a well greased cookie sheet (a 12x17 works best).
Note if you do not grease the pan with Pam or something, it will stick REALLY bad and be very annoying to get off.
Spread mixture in a thin layer over the entire pan. Cook for 10 min. Then stir--just try to get some of the bottom stuff up to the top. Cook another 12 min. Remove and let cool. It's best to let cool in a glass bowl where you can stir it every few minutes. If not you'll just have bigger chunks.

If you eat it as just cereal it's good with fresh or dried fruit on top! I really like bananas on it.

This is good for about a week in room temperature and 3 months frozen. Enjoy!
