Granola

  8 cups Oats

Preheat oven to 325°.

              Pile the oats into a large mixing bowl with salt & cinnamon.

       In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine oil, honey, maple syrup, water, and vanilla extract.

       Bring the mixture to a boil, stir gently to prevent it from boiling over. Pour the syrup over the oats and stir until the mixture is well combined.

        Spread the granola in a thin layer onto cookie sheets.

Bake in a preheated oven for 10 minutes.

Rotate the pans, exchanging the top for the bottom and the bottom for the top.

Bake 10 minutes more, then stir the granola, but don't break up the clumps entirely.

Return the granola to the oven and turn it off.

Allow the granola to cool in the oven.

This insures that the cereal will be dry enough to store.

Transfer the cooled granola to an airtight container.
