Best Homemade Granola

I never realized granola is super easy to make! If I'd known I would have been making it for years =)

It's also super customizable, which makes it fun.

INGREDIENTS:
(dry)
3 cups rolled oats
3 tbsp brown sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon

(wet)
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup canola oil
1 tsp vanilla extract

(options)
1 1/2 cups golden raisins
1 cup toasted pumpkin seeds

DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 300°F
2. In a large bowl, stir together dry ingredients.
3. In another bowl, stir together wet ingredients.
4. Dump wet mixture over dry and stir well to coat and mix evenly.
5. Spread mixture thinly and evenly on a baking sheet.
6. Bake, stirring after 15 minutes, until the granola is a very light golden brown.
(if you're like me and you like your granola crunchier with a toastier flavor, bake it a little longer. But make sure to keep a close eye on it-if it gets dark it will taste burnt.
7. Cool the granola and then mix with 1 1/2 cups golden raisins and 1 cup toasted pumpkin seeds.

Ta-da! =)
