Granola has to be one of my favorite things to eat. Love the salty, sweet, and crunch all mixed into one awesome treat. Not to mention filling! After looking at a few recipes on various websites, I decided to make my own version and man, oh man, is it yummy!
Never again will I spend money on store-bought granola. Talk about a money saver!
You will need:
- 4 Cups rolled oats
- 1 Cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 Cup sliced almonds
- 1/4 + 1/8 Cup brown sugar
- 1/4 + 1/8 Cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 + 1/8 Cup honey
- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 3/4 tsp salt
First, mix together oats, pecans, and almonds in a large bowl, set aside. Next, mix brown sugar, oil, honey, cinnamon, and salt in a sauce pan over medium heat until brown sugar is dissolved. Add vanilla.
Pour liquid over oat mixture and stir until evenly coated. (It may look a little dry, but don't worry the heat of the oven will melt the sugar even more, giving it the classic granola crunch)
Line a baking pan (preferably one with raised edges) with foil and spray with cooking spray. Pour granola mixture onto foil.
Bake at 325 for 30 min. Stir and the 15 minute mark
Remove pan from oven and firmly press down the cooked granola. It will be HOT so use a big spatula to do this. Let fully cool.
After completely cooled, lift granola out of pan and break into pieces and ENJOY!!!!!!!!!
**store in air tight container for best long term storage
