Simply Yummy

Yummy Maple Nut Granola

1/3 c Maple Syrup
1/3 c Packed Brown Sugar
4 tsp. Vanilla
1/2 tsp. Salt
1/2 c vegetable oil
5 c Rolled Oats
2 c Raw Nuts, I prefer Pecans, but original recipe called for Almonds.

Put oven rack in the upper middle position, and pre-heat to 325 degrees.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or tin foil.

Whisk maple syrup, brown sugar, vanilla, and salt in a large bowl.  Whisk in oil.  Fold in oats and nuts until coated.

Spread onto baking sheet, and press down until it is compact.  Bake till lightly browned 40-45 minutes, start checking it at about 35 minutes.  Rotating pan halfway through cooking.  Allow to cool in pan, then break up into small pieces.

So so yummy and easy!  Seriously the easiest granola recipe I've ever seen.  Its really good in a yogurt parfait or just plain.  We love yogurt and granola.
