Kyle was inspired to start eating oatmeal everyday by a co-worker. He's been at it for a while, but has gotten tired of the same 'ol thing. We decided that granola counts as a bowl of oatmeal, too. This is my favorite granola recipe. It can be varied quite easily.
Cheryl's Granola
6 c. old fashioned oats
2 c. rice krispies or puffed wheat
1/2 c. unsweetened coconut or wheat germ
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/2- 1 c. sliced almonds
1/3 c. oil
1/2 c. honey
1/4 c. maple syrup (or cheap pancake syrup!)
2 t. vanilla
Combine all the dry stuff (including brown sugar) Mix all the wet stuff together and pour over dry stuff, mixing well. Spread out on two cookie sheets covered with parchment paper. Bake at 250 degrees for 25 minutes. Stir. Bake another 25 minutes or until a bit browned. Don't brown it too much. Cool, break apart and store. You can add raisins when it is time to eat it. I don't store them in it because I think it makes the granola not as crunchy.
