GRANOLA

We got a recipe from our friend Jenny’s blog that is really yummy. We made a big triple batch for daddy while he went out on his 20 mile bike ride. We have been eating it every morning for breakfast. Here is the recipe if you want to make it too.
I changed a few things like I used Honey instead of brown sugar and I also added in Golden Raisins.

BROWN SUGAR GRANOLA...Mix together in a nice sized bowl:3 cup oats (not the quick kind)1 cup wheat germ1 cup chopped nuts (I used almonds, and they were heavenly.)
Also add in any other add-ins*
Simmer until it's syrupy, just a couple minutes:1 cup brown sugar1/4 cup canola oil1/4 cup water1 teaspoon cinnamonAdd 1 tsp vanilla and pour over oat mixture.
Spread on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake in a preheated 350* oven for 30 minutes or until crisp. (It took me maybe 7 minutes, then I stirred it a bit and put it back in for 7 more minutes.)
*Add ins: 1 cup dried cranberries, 1 cup ribbon coconut, etc.(I used both of these in mine and they really added to it and made it incredible - especially the craisins.)
