Honey Granola

6 c. old fashioned oats
1 1/2 c. nuts (sunflower seed, slivered almonds, cashews, basically whatever you like)
1 c. coconut
1/2-2/3 c. brown sugar
Mix in bowl

In 1 cup measuring cup
1/2 c. oil, melt 1/2 c. honey (microwave 30 seconds) add together
pour over mixture add 2 tsp vanilla, or almond extract and stir to coat evenly.


Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray or cover with aluminum foil, spread evenly on one
bake 350 for 25 minutes take out and fold over, put in oven for 5 more minutes and stir again. Repeat until well browned, but before too dark. Add dried fruit.

Be sure to remove granola off the pan before it cools or the honey will stick to the pan.

This recipe is still pretty sweet for me, so I usually only do 1/4 c. honey (if you take out some honey add water to compensate for the moisture lost) and 1/3 c. brown sugar.

Enjoy!!

I love trying new granola recipes! I'm going to try this one today. No nuts for us though.
