Granola


1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup honey
2 Tbls. molasses
7 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
optional: nuts, dried fruit, raisins, etc.

Combine oil, honey and molasses in saucepan. Bring to a boil, and cook, stirring constantly, until honey melts; about 2 minutes.

Add in 3 cups of oats. Mix well. Stir in remaining oats. Turn into large baking pan. Bake at 285 F for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through baking time. Let cool. Store in airtight container.

I usually add tropical dried fruit, raisins, and sliced almonds. (These are added during the cooling process)

Tracy, love your food blog. You have utensils in your title as I do at Oz Tucker at http://oztucker.blogspot.com. I am sorry to sound dumb and naive but is granola eaten like muesli - just add milk? It sounds yummy. And I love rolled oats.

Blessings and bliss
