Granola & Granola Bars

Granola is great to use for cereal, trail mix, parfaits, or toppings. The bar form is a perfect snack to keep you satisfied or a yummy dessert.

Granola Ingredients

3 cups rolled oats

3 Tbsp brown sugar

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp cinnamon

1/3 cup honey

1/4 cup oil (I use coconut oil)

1 tsp vanilla

Directions

1. Mix dry ingredients together in one bowl and liquid ingredients in another, then mix it all together

2. Preheat oven to 300 degrees, spread the granola in thin layer on baking sheet(s)

3. Bake for 15 min, stir, then another 10 min or until golden brown

4. Cool completely, stirring so it doesn't stick together. It hardens as it cools.
