My Mom literally makes this granola every other day. It barely makes it off the cookie sheet before it is gone. Great as a cereal with milk, as a snack, as a topping to yogurt, OR dare I say, a topping to create fruit crisp. I like to make mine with milk chocolate chips or dried cranberries, but you can add any extras you like!

1 cookie sheet (change servings and units)

Ingredients

6 cups old fashioned oats
1 cup coconut
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 pinch nutmeg
1/2-1 cup sliced almonds (or any nut of choice)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup honey
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or almond extract or a combination of both)
chocolate chips (optional)
dried cranberries (optional)
raisins (optional)

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 350°F.
2
Mix first seven ingredients in a large bowl. Set aside.
3
In a glass measuring cup or bowl, microwave honey, oil and vanilla extract for one minute.
4
Pour honey mixture over dry ingredients.
5
Stir until mixture is well coated.

Break up granola and add desired "extras" (chocolate, dried fruit).
