Granola


I love granola. I hate that it is so calorie laden. Here is my lower calorie version. It is divine. Make a double batch, you'll be glad you did!

4 cups quick oats
1 cup coconut
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup honey
2 TBS oil
1 TBS vanilla

In a large bowl, combine oats and coconut; set aside. In a small saucepan, combine brown sugar, honey and oil; bring to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Pour over oat mixture; stir to coat. Spread in a greased 9x13 baking pan. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes, stirring every 5. Cool undisturbed. Break up and store in an airtight container.

Makes 6 cups
