Granola

Ingredients

  • 3 cups rolled oats

  • 2 cups whatever tree nuts happen to be on hand or on sale (slivered almonds, chopped walnuts, chopped pecans, hazelnuts or a combination)

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

  • 1/4 cup maple syrup

  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup dried fruit (raisins, blueberries, cranberries or a combination)

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, combine the oats, nuts and brown sugar. Stir well, making sure brown sugar is well incorporated.
  • Next add oil, maple syrup and salt. Pour onto 2 sheet pans. Cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to achieve an even color. At the 15 minute ark, add the dried fruit (if using).
  • Remove from oven and transfer into a large bowl. Let cool and then cover tightly. Keeps up to one month tightly sealed.
