Granola

Ingredients:

• 1 C vegetable oil (I have used veggie and canola and both are fine)
• 1 1/4 C honey
• 1 1/4 C brown sugar
• 1 Tbsp vanilla
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 Tbsp cinnamon
• 1 42 oz container of Quaker oats (or about 13 cups of TJ's gluten free - about 1.25 bags)

Steps:

Ingredients really bubble/froth

1. Pour oats onto cookie sheet (into a mound) - equal parts on 2 sheets
2. Put all ingredients in a pot (except oats) and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Let froth up for 3-4 minutes while continuing to stir. 
3. Pour frothy mixture over oats (splitting as equally as you can) & mix together until all oats are wet/coated
4. Spread out oats evenly on cookie sheet - DO NOT PRESS DOWN...this makes it very hard to scrape off after finished baking.
5. Bake for 10 minutes, then mix up flipping with a spatula and spread evenly (do not press)
6. Bake another 10 minutes, or until golden brown



Mix well, you will have enough :)

7. Let cool, break up, and mix in your favorite extras*

*My favorites are cranberries, dried fruit medley, and raw slivered almonds from TJs. I use one bag of each for this size batch and it's perfect.


About this recipe:
This was given to me by the innkeeper at Sweetwater Farm B&B in Glen Mills, PA. It is a LOVELY place if anyone wants to plan a getaway without the kids. They have a winery there as well. The owner is actually Grace Kelly's (as in Princess Grace of Monaco) nephew.  Here's the site: http://gracewinery.com/

ENJOY!
