Homemade Granola

I found this lady's blog about a year ago, and have "followed" it since. Simple food, more "home-body" and simple. That's why I like it. This recipe I found a while ago on her page, and use it quite often! This is the only recipe that Patrick (my hubby) actually requests! It makes a lot, and we usually pack and freeze in small containers so it'll last a while.

HOMEMADE GRANOLA

4 cups old fashion oats
2 cups chopped walnuts/pecans
3/4 cup honey
1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
2 tsp cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla
dash of salt

In a small saucepan, melt honey, butter, cinnamon, vanilla and salt until blended. In a large bowl, mix oats and nuts, then pour honey mixture over top and mix well. Pour oat mixture on  large jellyroll pan and put in oven. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes--"stirring" every 5 minutes. Let cool on pan a few minutes, and put in air-tight container.

Thank you Brandi for the yummy recipes!

Its really good with  vanilla yogurt in the morning! Enjoy!
