Tasty homemade granola

Scale

5 cups old-fashioned oats

1 cup sliced almonds

1 Tbsp – ground chia seeds

2 Tbsp – ground flax seed.

1/2 cup packed light brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
In a large bowl, mix the oats, nuts, ground seeds, brown sugar, salt and cinnamon.
In a saucepan, heat the oil and honey, don’t let it come to a boil.
Whisk in vanilla.
Pour the liquid over the oat mixture. Stir ingredients together.
Spread granola in a 15×10 inch baking pan or cookie sheet.
Bake for 25-30 minutes.
Put granola back in the bowl you mixed it in and add the coconut.
Allow to cool then put the granola to airtight containers, (I use mason jars).
Store them in the freezer.

Enjoy with yogurt, over ice cream or eat by the handful as a snack.
