Maple-Honey Granola

This recipe is yummy, but it is also good for picky eaters because there is no fruit in it. You could add raisins, or any other dried fruit if you want. Be aware that this makes a ton of granola, but it also lasts a long time. I make the recipe as is and then put it in a tupperware to use for breakfast regularly.

From Pilates Laura

Mix together:
8 cups of old fashioned oats (do not use quick oats)
1 bag of coconut (I have made it without this and it is still very good)
1-2 cups of chopped nuts (I like pecans best, and almonds second, but do what you love)

In a separate bowl, mix:
1 cup of honey
1 cup of pure maple syrup (do not use the fake stuff)
1 1/2 cups canola oil (can substitute vegetable oil, but not olive oil)

Combine wet and dry ingredients. Bake at 350 degrees for one hour, stirring every 15 minutes.

Tips:
Line your baking sheet with tinfoil so your cleanup is much easier. Make sure to stir thoroughly while cooking so that the crunchiness of the granola is pretty evenly spread. You can cook it for less time if you want it less crunchy. Buy your maple syrup at Costco - it is the cheapest and you could make at least three batches, if not four, from it.
