Stovetop Granola

Stovetop Granola
Preheat oven to 350*

3 tablespoons olive oil
3 cups of rolled oats
2-3 tablespoons of butter or margarine
2-3 tablespoons of honey
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
Vanilla taste
Cinnamon to taste

Heat oil in a large skillet. Add the oats and stir until they start to get brown and crisp. Remove them from the skillet and transfer to a cookie sheet. (I cover my cookie sheet in aluminum foil)

Melt butter in the same skillet. Add honey and brown sugar stirring constantly until bubbly. Add the vanilla. (I don’t measure this…it’s just however much you want)

Return oats to pan. Cook and stir for another 5 minutes or until they are coated. Add the cinnamon while you are stirring. This will smell delicious J

Spread granola onto the cookie sheet and place in pre-heated oven. Let them bake at 350* for 5 minutes and then turn the over off BUT leave the granola in the oven while it cools.

Once the oven is cooled, removed the granola and let it stand until it cools. Store in a Tupperware-esk container.
