Granola




The base of this recipe was given to me by a friend (I love her granola!) but needed to make it gluten friendly so modified it a little.

Mix together in large bowl:
9 cups instant oats (gluten-free: used Cream Hill Estates Oats)
1 cup wheat brand (didn't add for gluten-free)
2-3 cups almonds (I used 2 cups sliced)
1 cup craisins (optional)

Heat on stove:
3/4 cup oil
1 cup honey
1 TBS. vanilla

Once heated through pour on top of dry ingredients and mix well. Spread on two baking sheets and cook at 350 for 25-30 minutes. Cool and eat!
