Granola, Oh, Granola

 
 
 
3 cups old fashioned oats
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup honey
3 Tbsp. brown sugar
1/4 cup sliced almonds
1/4 cup golden raisins or dried cranberries
salt
 
 
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
 
2. In a large bowl mix oats, vegetable oil, honey & brown sugar. It's easier if you use your hand.
 
3. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Spread oat mixture on parchment paper evenly.
 
4. Bake for 15 minutes, stirring every five minutes. When 15 minutes are up, add sliced almonds to oat mixture and return to pan for another 7 - 10 minutes, making sure to stir every five minutes. Make sure that you do not allow the granola to brown too much.
 
5. Remove from oven and allow to cool for about 15 minutes before you add the dried fruit and stir. Sprinkle some sea salt or pinch of cinnamon.

 
 
Note: This is a great snack. Wonderful on yogurt and sprinkled over ice cream as well.
