Vanilla Granola

I made this a few nights ago and it was so delicious, I had to add it to this dusty old blog. Here's the link to where I got it from: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/vanilla-granola/detail.aspx
And here's the recipe for my records:

  • 6 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • some slivered almonds
  • 1/2 cup flaked coconut
  • 2/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, toss oats, walnuts, coconut and almonds. In a saucepan over medium heat, cook oil, honey, brown sugar, water and vanilla until well mixed. Pour over oat mixture and stir to coat evenly. Pour into two greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking pans. Bake at 275 degrees F for 50-60 minutes or until golden brown, stirring every 15 minutes. Cool, stirring occasionally. Store in an airtight container.
