Carrie's Favorite Granola

I always have this on hand. I make a batch about once a week. The kids love it as well. We eat it on yogurt or with milk like cereal. Have you tried the Greek Goddess yogurt? Honey vanilla and salted caramel flavor....ummm, hello! Divine.

Cinnamon Honey Granola:

4 cups old fashioned oats
1 cup shredded coconut
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup canola or coconut oil
1/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon cinnamon (of course use Penzey's)
1 teaspoon vanilla
Mini chocolate chips or dried fruit.

Mix together oats and coconut in a large bowl. Combine sugar, oil, honey, and cinnamon in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Pour over oats and coconut and stir to evenly coat.

Spread mixture in a thin layer onto a cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for about 12-15 minutes, stirring once halfway through cooking time. Watch closely so it doesn't burn. Cool and break up, mix in chocolate chips or fruit and store in an airtight container. Enjoy!
