Yummy Granola from my kitchen.
I always had thoughts of making granola, but the recipes I found seemed too complicated. Then my mother-in-law put a recipe in front of me that was easy to make. So I tried it: and loved it. The flavor is spot-on and the recipe simple and unassuming. It is a granola my children would be willing to try, in part because it is not overdone or filled with too many unknowns.
Granola
4 cups oats 1
1/2 cups sliced almonds
1/2 cup brown sugar
pinch salt
pinch cinnamon
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup oil
2 tsp vanilla
optional: raisins, dried cranberries/cherries/blueberries/apple
Oven to 300 degrees. In large bowl mix first five ingredients. In a small bowl, blend honey, oil and vanilla. Pour over dry ingredients and stir to blend. Spread in big pan and place in oven for 40 minutes. Stir occasionally. Keeps for a week sealed at room temp, or frozen up to 3 months.

I enjoy eating homemade granola, and my family does too - now you've inspired me to make a batch.
Isn't it strange that granola is chic now? I see fancy bags in gourmet grocery stores for 10 bucks a bag!
Hmmm, now there's a business idea...
I love granola~ I will give this one a try!
