Directions

Mix together very well so that all the ingredients are distributed evenly. Adding dry ingredients to wet ingredients makes a crunchier granola. Spread onto a fruit roll sheet and dry at 145 degrees until crunchy. Crumble and store in a airtight container. (I just spread it on three cookie sheets and baked it in the oven at 325 degrees for 10 minutes, and then stirred it around and baked another 5 minutes. Worked GREAT!
