Homemade Maple Granola!

Ryan and I love granola. I find it fun to go to Henery's and fill up those plastic bags with all the granola I want but it ends up being pricey. It's even harder on the wallet if you go to the store and buy it by the box + it's filled with tons of stuff that can only be described as crap. I have been learning that if I make it at home I can make something as healthy or unhealthy as I want (although I tend to lean towards the healthy side). Since we took granola out of our diet because of the price it was one of the first recipes I wanted to try. It was pretty easy!

Ingredients needed:

3 Cups of Rolled Oats
3 Tablespoons of Brown Sugar
1/4 Teaspoon of Salt
1/2 Teaspoon of Cinnamon
1/6 Cup of Honey
1/6 Cup of Sugar Free Syrup
1/4 Cup of Conola Oil
1 Teaspoon of Vanilla

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees

Step 2: In a large bowl mix all the dry ingredients together. (Oats, Brown Sugar, Salt, Cinnamon)

Step 3: In a separate bowl mix all the wet ingredients together. (honey, Syrup, Conola Oil, Vanilla)

Step 4: Mix all the wet and dry ingredients together. Mix well so that all the oats get covered.



Step 5: Pour onto a large cooking pan. I use a sheet cake pan. Make sure the granola is spread thinly and evenly.

Step 6: Cook for a combined 30 minutes but stirring the mix after 15 minutes. The granola should look golden brown when you pull it out.



Step 7: After cooking begin stirring to cool the granola. add anything you want to add. I like adding sliced almonds mmmm!

This recipe is so good and is really simple to make!
