Homemade Granola


I've spent so many mornings crushing up Nature Valley granola bars on top of my fruit and yogurt and I finally ran out of those so I needed another option rather than running to the store and buying more.  I wanted something fresh and natural.  The greatest thing about this granola is that you know exactly what you put into it.  I'm not sure about cost, whether this is a cheaper option than buying granola or granola bars, but i'm not sure i'll go back to the old kind this is so yummy.  I found this via Pinterest and added cinnamon and pecans to the recipe.  Here's how to make it:
Ingredients
  • 5 cups oatmeal
  • 2/3 cup canola oil
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans 
Instructions
  1. Mix ingredients in a large bowl and stir until combined. Spread mixture onto a greased pan.   Bake at 300 for 7 minutes. Remove from oven and stir. Put back in the oven for 7 more minutes. Remove from oven, stir and let cool. Store in a air tight container and serve with yogurt or ice cream.
