Super Easy Granola

I'm going to be the first to post a recipe! Woot woot!
 
A couple weeks ago I tried making granola for the first time. I was surprised at how easy it was (I'm all about easy!) and it made quite a lot. Dallen and I still haven't finished it off…although we are close!

At "first taste" I wasn't really that fond of it, it kinda tasted like the stuff that goes on top of apple crisp but maybe that's because it was still warm?…who knows but after that I was addicted to it! I ate it plain and then decided to try it as cereal and lemme tell ya it makes pretty good cereal! Even Dallen will eat it :) 
If you're a yogurt person, Id try it with yogurt or if you're going on a hike I would most certainly throw some chocolate in there. You can also eat it with ice-cream! Best thing about this recipe is you can pretty much do whatever you want with  it! If you don't like walnuts you can use different nuts or if you wanna add multiple kinds you can do that too. If you're a dried fruit kinda person, raisins, craisins... (gross;)) you can do that! 
Here is where I got the recipe!
Enjoy!
INGREDIENTS
  • 6 cups rolled oats (not instant)
  • 1 cup pecans, halved (almonds or walnuts work well for a substitution)
  • 1 cup flour
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 cup oil
  • ½ cup honey
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Preheat oven to 320 degrees.
  2. Mix first 6 ingredients together. Whisk the oil and the honey together and add to oats mixture.
  3. Spread on a baking sheet (it’s helpful if it has raised edges) and bake for 35 minutes, stirring all the way down to the bottom of the pan a few times during baking. Bake longer for more crunch, but don’t let it burn! Allow granola to cool completely after baking (this is when it clumps together). Serve with milk, yogurt, fruit, ice cream, or just plain snacking!
