It's totally customizable and very easy to make.
3c Quaker old fashioned oats
1c Rice Krispies
1/2c Honey (try organic honey, the taste is so much better)
2 tbls vanilla
2tbls cinnamon sugar (i had a mixture of equal parts cinnamon and sugar for toast and C's daily bowl of oatmeal)
1tbls brownsugar
1/4tsp salt
1/2c butter; melted (please use real butter, unsalted, you can't bake with the fake healthy stuff. it's sacrilegious)
1/2c raisens*
1/2c glazed walnuts* (emerald nuts variety, love)
1/2c almond slivers*
* You can put what ever fruit and/or nut combination you prefer. I like to keep mine simple.
Pre-heat oven to 250.
Dump dry ingredients into a big bowl. Slowly pour melted butter and honey and vanilla
and stir with a spatula. Spread oats evenly on a large cookie sheet and pop into oven. Stir every 15 minutes or so, until it has cooked for 1 hour. Remove and set aside. Once the granola has gotten crispy and cooled off enough to nibble, break apart and store in an airtight container.
I like mine with some low-fat yogurt and sliced banana.
