Granola is a wonderful thing. It can be a breakfast food. It can be a snack. It can be a part of a late night or lazy night dinner.
I found a great granola recipe at Stone Gable.
Have you ever visited Stone Gable? I have long been a fan of her site. It is not only informational, but it is also stunning!
This recipe quickly became one of my favorites. I have added a few things over the years and I now call it my own recipe.
Best Granola Ever
Adapted from Stone Gable
6 cups of oatmeal
1 1/2 cups slivered almonds
2 1/2 cups chopped pecans
1/2 dark brown sugar
1/2 cup non flavored vegetable oil
1 tsp cinnamon
2 TBS vanilla
1-2 cups assorted dried fruit (I use dried cherries, cranberries and raisins)
Preheat oven to 225 degrees.
Mix all ingredients except oatmeal and dried fruit in a large bowl. Mix well. Add oatmeal and coat evenly. Place on a large cookie sheet and spread evenly.
Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes. Turn every 15 minutes.
I hope you will give it a try! Please let me know if you like it!

OK, for a minute there I thought I had clicked on the wrong link… your site looks fantastic! I don’t know when you changed it, as I was unplugged for awhile over the holidays, but WOW… well done!
Oh, and the granola looks great too
Happy New Year,

Thanks so much Jenn! I am glad you like it. I have been working hard at getting it easy on the eye and informative!
Looks yummy and easy to make. I love granola (can’t wait to try this recipe). Thanks for sharing.
I love your new header pictures. I want this granola NOW!
I really like that this doesn’t use honey! That sounds weird but I’m just not a big fan of honey!
This looks yummy. I love granola, especially in my yogurt but hate paying $7 for a small bag. I’m gonna try this
Hi Cynthia, I found this link at Practically Functional and I’m so glad you posted it! I’ve always wanted to try to make my own granola but found it daunting! I think I can handle this recipe-I’ve pinned it so I don’t forget.
Looking good, looking good! We will be making some this month
That looks super yummy!
