I love granola and few things come close to it's decadent aroma. Shear heaven on earth and the beast part is it's a treat you can feel good about. I serve this with milk for breakfast, or sprinkle it on yogurt or ice cream! Also I double it, it goes fast around here.
*Please read the whole recipe before beginning you don't just throw all the ingredients into a bowl!*
Ingredients
vegetable oil cooking spray (pam)
4 cups old fashioned oats
1 cup shredded coconut (if you are being healthy go for unsweetened)
1 cup sliced almonds
1/2 cup golden brown sugar, packed
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons sugar
4 teaspoons vanilla extract
Directions
Position rack to middle of oven and preheat to 300*.
2 Lightly spray large baking sheet with nonstick spray.
Mix next 5 ingredients in large bowl.
Combine oil, honey and sugar in small saucepan; bring to simmer over medium heat.
Remove from heat; stir in vanilla.
Pour hot liquid over oat mixture; stir well.
Using hands, toss mixture until thoroughly mixed.
Spread granola on prepared baking sheet.
Bake until golden brown, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes (but check after 20). I like a soft baked granola (20 min) so bake it according to your liking.
Transfer sheet to rack; cool granola completely.
