Almond Granola


 My friend made this for me and it is so yummy. It's even yummy to just snack on plain.
*Sometimes I do 1 1/2 times this recipe or double it. If you double it you may want to use two pans.
 
1/4 c. brown sugar
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup oil (one thing I do is to measure the oil first, then the measuring cup is oily and the honey slides right out)
1/4 t. salt
1 t. vanilla
1 t. almond extract
4 cups old-fashioned oats
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1/2 cup slivered almonds (or you can use just one cup of one kind or almonds if you don't have both)
Mix sugar, honey, oil, salt, vanilla, almond extract. Add to oats and almonds and mix well. Spread mixture on a greased rimmed baking sheet or jelly roll pan. Bake at 300 degrees for 10 minutes, then stir. Bake another 10-12 minutes or until very lightly browned, stir again and let cool completely, then store in a covered container or Ziplock.
