Our Granola Baking Adventure

We had awesome reviews (from our families)on our first time making homemade granola. The recipe:
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup water
4 teaspoons pure vanilla
1 teaspoon salt
8 cups oats
2 cups nuts (if you care to add)
Pecans, walnuts, almonds

Oven 275 degrees
Combine brown sugar and water, Place in microwave for 5 minutes. Remove from microwave and add salt and vanilla.
In large bowl combine oats, brown sugar mixture..stir until mixed.
Spread on 2 cookie sheets and bake for 45 min to 1 hour. (until golden brown and crunchy)

Notes: If you wish to add dried fruit, do so when your granola comes out of the oven. We chose to add raisins to ours! This recipe yeilds 10 cups (a great value)and we also added cinnamon! Enjoy!!!
