Granola

jams11 033

I don't think I've ever posted the recipe for this granola that we are all so in love with.  We honestly probably go through a whole batch in less then a week.

It is especially Jackson's favorite (seriously he is an addict, can't start his day without it).  It is often what we make on our baking day together (like today).

The recipe came from the book "Food to Live By" by Myra Gooman but we've changed it up a bit (most people would probably say we've made it more boring, I don't know, I guess I just like simple granola)

4 and 1/2 cups of old fashioned oats
2 cups of slivered almonds
2 tbsp of cinnamon
1 and 1/4 cup of maple syrup
1/3 cup canola oil (or coconut oil)

Mix oats, almonds and cinnamon together.  Add syrup and oil.  Mix well.  Place on baking sheet in over at 325 for 25 minutes.  Stir and put back in over for another 10.  Stir again.  Bake for another 5 or so minutes maybe stirring once more.  Watch closely at the end because it can burn easily.
