Just a quick easy recipe for granola. I've been wanting to make my own for some time now and finally had a little time to throw some together. I honestly don't know why I never did this before! This recipe is perfect for modifying as well. You can adjust the sweetness, saltiness, and also choose the kind of nuts, oil, dried fruit (if any) and spices! You no longer have to spend lots of money on small little bags of granola at the supermarket. Just make your own!
Ingredients:
4 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup oil (I mixed vegetable and olive oil 50/50. I have heard coconut oil is great too)
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup honey
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup whole almonds
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/4 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon allspice
dried fruit (however much you prefer, to add after baking)

1 cup whole almonds
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/4 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon allspice
dried fruit (however much you prefer, to add after baking)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Take 2 large baking sheets with a lip and cover with some parchment paper and set aside. Combine the oats, pecans, almonds, salt and spices in a large bowl and stir to combine. Fold in the wet ingredients.
Spread evenly over the 2 baking sheets. Bake in oven for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring halfway during cooking process.
The longer you bake, the more crunchy and caramelized it becomes. Cool completely. Add the dried fruit before serving. Store in an airtight container and eat at you hearts content!!!
