Beaver Pond Farm Granola
This granola was always available during breakfast time when I owned my bed and breakfast. It will go great with whatever flavor yogurt you pick up!
8 cups rolled oats
2 cup sliced almonds
1/2 tsp. Salt
2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 cup vegetable or sunflower oil
1 cup grade B maple syrup
3 TB. Vanilla extract
2 cups dried cranberries or other dried fruit of your choice
Preheat oven to 285°. Line 2 large baking sheets (or one sheet pan) with parchment paper. Mix first five ingredients in large bowl. Combine oil and maple syrup in a small saucepan; bring to a simmer over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Pour hot liquid over oats mixture; stir and toss until mixture is thoroughly coated. Spread granola on prepared baking sheets. Bake until golden brown, stirring every ten minutes. This should take approx. 30 minutes. Remove pans from oven. Stir in dried fruit. Place on racks and cool completely. Keeps for 4 weeks, stored at room temperature in an airtight container.
