This is one of my favorite granola recipes. I believe it originally came from Epicurious. It's a bit sweet so if you don't care for a sweet granola, adjust the sugar to your taste. The vanilla scent is terrific! After it's cooled, you can add dried fruits as desired.
Vanilla Scented Granola
Heat oven to 300 degrees F
Combine in large bowl:
4 cups old fashioned oats
1 cup sliced almonds
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Combine in small saucepan:
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup honey
2 Tablespoons sugar
Bring above to a simmer over medium heat. Remove from heat, stir in:
4 teaspoons vanilla
Pour hot liquid over the oat mixture; stir well. Toss mixture until thoroughly mixed. Spread granola on a lightly sprayed (nonstick vegetable oil spray) baking sheet OR line a cookie sheet with parchment paper & spread on that. Bake about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cool completely, store in airtight container at room temperature. This keeps well for several weeks.
Yield: about 8 cups
