yummy homemade granola

ok...i know it seems like i am starting a recipe blog but
i had to share this yummy granola with you.
i love to put it over vanilla yogurt with real maple syrup.
or just a bowl with milk.
i can it eat it 3 times a day.

granola
4 c oats                         3/4 c brown sugar
1/2 c coconut                1/2 c sliced almonds
1/2 c pecans or walnuts coarsely chopped

mix all together really well in a large bowl; set aside.

1/4 c water                   1/4 c vegetable or olive oil
1/4 c honey                  1/4 c peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla

In a saucepan, stir together water, honey, oil, and peanut butter.  bring to a boil.  remove from heat; add vanilla and stir mixture into oats mixture.   spread on large greased baking sheet.  bake at 325 for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.  makes about 2 lbs. of yummy goodness!

yum, yum, yummy!
