Easy Granola

Here is a great recipe for granola.  It is easy, fast and inexpensive to make.  My kids love it!  Try it out and let us know what you think!

Easy Granola

12 cups oats (I just use 32oz tub)
1/2 cup flour
1 T. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
1 cup oil
1 cup honey or honey substitute: 1 1/2 c. brown sugar + 1/4 cup water

In a large bowl, combine oats, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg.  In another bowl combine oil and honey/honey substitute-heat until hot.  Pour over dry ingredients and mix well.  Spread mixture in pan.  Bake 20-30 minutes, stir a couple of times during baking.  Make sure not to over bake.

Once the granola has cooled completely you can add a variety of dried fruits: cherries, cranberries, raisins, and apricots are popular choices.  At times, we also add flax seed, coconut, wheat germ, chocolate chips...  A lot of times we eat it as cereal just the way it is!  (I put it back into the round tub once it has cooled.)


Happy Granola Making and Eating!!!
