Maple, Vanilla, Almond Granola

If I was going to name our children, what I ate most during pregnancy, they would both be named granola. And this is the granola that they would be.

Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup maple syrup

• 1/3 cup brown sugar

• 4 teaspoons vanilla extract

• 1/2 Tablespoon salt (I use kosher)

• 3/4 + cup oil (I use sunflower, but could be any oil with mild flavor or coconut if you like the flavor)

• 7 cups thick cut rolled oats

• 2 cups chopped raw almonds

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees

• Whisk together: maple syrup, brown sugar, vanilla extract, salt

• Once all dissolved together add oil.

• Once that is a cohesive syrup add thick cut rolled oats and chopped raw almonds (I use the food processor to chop)

Mix well

Bake for 40-45 minutes at 325 degrees on cookie sheets
