Granola

 Granola is one of those foods that are incredibly easy to prepare and allows for some interesting flavor profiles. This recipe is definitely easy to prepare and can work well as a dessert topping, breakfast cereal and energy bars! 

 Granola

3 cups rolled oats (not instant)

3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1/3 cup honey

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup small-dice dried fruit

1/2 cup coarsely chopped raw or toasted nuts or seeds

Method:

1.       Combine the oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, honey, vegetable oil and vanilla extract. Mix the ingredients together by rubbing together with your hands. Spread onto a sheet pan lined with parchment paper and bake at 250 Fahrenheit. When finished the oats should be dry and a mix of clumps and loose pieces.  Add dried fruit, nuts and or seeds. Cool and store in a dry air tight container.
