Granola

Honey, vanilla, oats & almonds even add some dried fruit if you would like.

My friend Wendy Busk made this granola for me. We enjoyed it so much I had to share it with you. Hope you enjoy. Thank you Wendy!   

 ¾ cup veg oil (soy)

   1 cup honey (local)

   2 teaspoon vanilla

   Warm  up the oil and honey a little and then whisk in the vanilla.

   

Pour over the following and stir.

   5 cups whole, uncooked oats

   1 cup whole natural almonds

   1 cup chopped or whole walnuts  (I pile the nuts on top of the oats –so they get well-coated with the honey/oil mixture—they get crunchier that way)

Line two cookie sheets, or cake pans with parchment paper (edges coming up sides a bit), pour granola in and flatten out

 1 tablespoon or so packed brown sugar, (sprinkle over flattened granola)

Bake at 310° for 30 minutes, stir; put back in the oven for another 15 minutes and keep watching and stirring until dark golden brown. 

Let cool and add in

• · ½ cup cran-raisins
• · ½ cup golden raisins
• · ¾ cup chopped dates

 You can put your own spin on this sort of recipe in a million different ways!
