Plain Granola

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
  • 2/3 cup olive oil can use another oil if you wish
  • 2/3 cup honey
  • 10 cups oats I use quick oats
  • 1 cup powdered milk
  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Combine brown sugar, olive oil and honey in a saucepan and place on medium heat. Stir frequently until blended well. Then remove from heat
  • Combine rest of ingredients in large mixing bowl.
  • Put liquid mixture on top of dry mixture and stir with large wooden spoon.
  • Pour mixture out onto two cookie sheets and spread evenly
  • Place in a preheated oven at 375 degrees
  • Bake for 10 minutes at the 5 minute mark stir the granola especially around edges to avoid burning and rotate cookie sheets if needed (my oven does not bake evenly so I always rotate)
  • When 10 minutes is up take granola out. Edges should be golden brown.
  • Let cool.
  • As it cools break it up with a spoon once and a while to avoid clumps (unless you like clumps then leave it alone)
  • When it is 100% cooled place in airtight container. It should keep several weeks.
