Cranberry Walnut Granola

A much simpler granola recipe!

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Mix the following in a large bowl:

4 cups oats
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup walnuts pulsed in blender to create crumbs
1 cup slivered almonds

In a sauce pan, combine:

1/2 cup honey or agave syrup (vegan)
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 tsp vanilla
3/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup canola oil

Warm over medium-low heat until combined and warm.

Pour half of the syrup mixture over the oats and nuts and mix well.

Spread oats on an ungreased cookie sheet and place in oven for 15 minutes.  Remove from oven, pour remaining syrup over, and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

Let cool in pan and then remove with a metal spatula.  Add 1 1/2 cups dried cranberries, and store in an air-tight container or ziplock bag.
