Granola

When I need a late night snack or just a good breakfast Stoneyfield French Vanilla Yogurt and homemade granola hit the spot. I thought I would share my recipe.


4 cups old-fashioned oats
2 cups sliced almonds
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cups honey
1 cup dried cranberries
*sometimes I add pecans and sweetened coconut

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Toss the oats and almonds together in a large bowl. Whisk together the oil and honey in a small bowl. Pour the liquids over the oat mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until all the oats and nuts are coated. I line a 13X18 by 1 inch sheet pan with parchment paper and then pour the mixture on the sheet. Bake, stirring occasionally with a spatula, until the mixture turns a nice golden brown. It takes 30-45 minutes.
Remove the granola from the oven. I usually let it sit for about 20 minutes, then break it up and put it into an airtight container. Some like to eat it plain, some like it on ice cream, and some eat with yogurt. Enjoy!
