Homemade Granola

I recently made this for my sister's bachelorette party so the girls would have something healthy to eat for breakfast and to snack on. It is super easy and totally worth the 10 minutes it takes to put everything together. If you would like, you can add dried fruit after you bake it so that you have something you can take on the go that's got some fruit mixed in. I love to eat it in the morning for breakfast with vanilla yogurt and fresh fruit, and sometimes I'll even make a strawberry ice cream cone and dip it in the granola. It is awesome, inexpensive, and so good for you.

Ingredients:

-2 cups rolled oats (not quick cook)

-1 cup shredded coconut (I use unsweetened)

-1 cup sliced almonds

-1 cup chopped walnuts, pecans, or cashews

-1/3 cup olive oil

-1/4 cup honey

-1 tsp cinnamon

-1 tsp vanilla

Directions:

-Preheat the oven to 300.

-In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, honey, cinnamon, and vanilla.

-In a large bowl, toss the oats with the nuts and coconut.

-Pour the liquid over the oats and stir until everything is evenly coated.

-Spread onto a cookie sheet and bake for 45-60 minutes, mixing the granola every 20 minutes to make sure it cooks evenly.
