I'm So Granola

Lately I've been thinking about cereal.
We eat cereal every day for breakfast.
Every. Single. Day.
That's a lot of cereal!
We're DIY people, so I thought, Why not make granola?
It's a snack and a cereal.
Bonus!

I have made this granola three times already, and it's disappeared so fast I didn't have time to photo it.
It's that good!
Now, I like a simple granola -- just sweet oats with a nut or two.
You can take the basic recipe and add anything you want: nuts, seeds, dried fruit.
This recipe will make about a quart sized zip lock baggie worth.
And if your house is like my house, it won't last long!

1 tsp. cinnamon

•In another bowl, whisk together the oil, honey, brown sugar, and vanilla.
•Pour honey mixture over oats, and use your hands to combine.  Make sure all oats are covered.
