granola

I've been making this recipe way too much during this pregnancy!

I love love LOVE this granola.

I eat it just as cereal with milk, on top of yogurt, with strawberries, or just a quick spoonful by itself. 

16 cups rolled oats

4 cups sliced almonds

16 oz. coconut

1 cup vegetable oil (I use olive oil instead of vegetable oil)

1 cup honey (I add a little more for sweetness)

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup water

4 tsp. vanilla

Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl.  

Mix last five ingredients and microwave for 1 minute. Pour over oat mixture.

Bake on 2 large cookie sheets sprayed with Pam.

I sprinkle my uncooked granola with cinnamon before putting it in the oven.

Bake for 40 minutes @275. Switch pans on lower and upper racks after 20 minutes

Store in fridge or freezer.

This recipe will give you about 2 gallon size ziplock bags.

Warning: you think it is a ton of granola, but it will be gone before you know it!
