Making Granola

I ran out of granola yesterday. Instead of buying more, I decided to use that box of oatmeal that no one eats to make some for myself. This recipe is loosely based off the the one from Chow.com.

Granola

- 2 1/2 C Rolled oats

- 1/2 C Sliced almonds

- 3 Tbsp sugar

- 1/2 tsp cinnamon

- 1/4 tsp salt

Preheat the oven to 300 F. Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl. Add:

- 1/3 C Honey/molasses mixture

- 1/4 C canola oil

Stir everything together. Spread evenly on a large baking sheet. Bake for 20-30 min, stirring once or twice. When you pull the granola out of the oven, stir it a bit as it cools, or you'll be left with a large, solid sheet of granola. When it's cooled add:

- 1/2 C dried cranberries.

Store in an air-tight container.
