Cranberry Granola

Image
By
1 cup honey
¾ cup canola oil
½ cup brown sugar
1 tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon
2- 6oz. packages of dried cranberries 
1 cup sunflower seeds (dry roasted, no salt added)
2 cup almonds or pecans, chopped
8 cups whole oats
¾ cup warm water

Preheat oven to 300 degrees
  1. In a large mixing bowl combine the honey, oil, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, dried cranberries, sunflower seeds and nuts together. (The mixture should be very gooey)
  2. Once mixture is combined, add oats and warm water and stir thoroughly, making sure all the oats are covered and that all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  3. Transfer mixture to a large, 11x15 inch baking dish, and place in the oven for 40 minutes. Remove granola every 10 minutes and stir so that the oats evenly brown. (If granola still seems too wet, allow an additional 5 minutes of cooking time.)
  4. After baking, allow granola to cool for an hour or so and store in an airtight container. Enjoy!
