This granola is so addicting and so much cheaper to make than to buy. Thanks to our chef at school (Jordan Hunsecker) for turning me on to this home-made granola recipe!
Pour 4 cups of oats (not quick-cooking) into a bowl. Add and mix in 1 TBS of canola oil, 1 TSP of vanilla, 1 TSP of cinnamon, 2 TBS of honey.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Bake on 350 for 25 minutes (convection if you have it) – or until light brown in color.
Pour mixture back into the mixing bowl and add:
- ¾ cup of any assortment of cut-up dried fruits (berries, cherries, raisins – I added some Mixed Dried Fruit)
- ¼ cup of coconut, ¼ cup of brown sugar and 2 more TBS of honey (I added 1 TBS of Molasses too)
- Bake on 350 for another 15 minutes. Let it cool in the pan. Add chocolate chips if you want. ENJOY!
