Maple Granola
If you're thinking it's not oats weather anymore, think again! I often eat granola, yogurt and fruit for breakfast in the summer.
2 c maples syrup, grade B
1 tsp vanilla
2/3 c oil
2 1/2 pounds rolled oats
3 c any combination of the following: oat bran, mixed cracked grains, sesame seed, wheat germ, sunflower seed, etc
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350. Combine syrup, vanilla and oil in a liquid measuring cup. Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl; mix in the liquids. Combine well. Spread in a couple baking pans, such as jelly roll or roasting pans. Bake 30 minutes, stirring a couple times. Add a cup of chopped nuts for the last 10 minutes, if desired.
