Homemade Granola
- 4 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup pecans (chopped)
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar (packed)
- 1/2 t salt
- 1/2 t cinnamon
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup local honey
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 t vanilla
Preheat oven to 300 F. In a bowl mix the oats, pecans, brown sugar, salt and cinnamon. In a saucepan warm the oil, maple syrup and honey. Whisk in vanilla. Carefully pour the liquid over the oat mixture. Stir gently with a spatula; finish mixing by hand. Spread granola on a baking pan lined with parchment paper. Bake 40 minutes, stirring carefully every 10 minutes. Allow the granola to cool completely. Seal granola in an airtight container or self-sealing plastic bag. Store at room temperature for 1 week or in the freezer for 3 months.
