Delicious Granola Recipe

This is one of my favorite things to eat.  I usually don't really like yogurt but this granola makes it delicious.  I love to put a ton of it into greek yogurt for breakfast. or lunch. or dinner. or a snack.  It is just so good.  I don't know where the recipe is originally from but my dear friend Stephanie Lee taught me how to make this when we were neighbors.  

I mad made it last night when I got home from my workout and for some reason I couldn't take a nice picture.  I either made a funny face or closed my eyes for every single one but I still like the pictures.  (I just have character)

Granola:

1/3 C vegetable oil

2 tsp vanilla

3/4 C honey

8 C oats

1 1/2 C packed brown sugar

1/2 lb angel flake coconut

2 C almonds (I usually substitute chopped pecans)

1 C raisins

(or whatever else you want in your granola! I add whatever nuts I have and do a mix of raisins and cranberries)

Directions: Heat oil, vanilla, and honey over low/med heat until it gets bubbly, stirring constantly. Combine dry ingredients EXCEPT raisins in a large bowl. Add liquid ingredients over dry and mix well. Spray large cookie sheet or pan with Pam before pouring granola on. Bake at 325'F for 15-20 minutes stirring every 5 minutes. I sometimes put it on two sheets so it cooks faster.  After 10-15 minutes in the oven add the rasins or cranberries and continue to bake for the remaining time. It won't seem crunchy when its done just darker golden. It hardens as it cools outside of the oven.
