    3/4 cup Raisins, (not packed)
    3/4 cup Cranberries, dried, sweetened (craisins)
    1 cup Almonds, sliced
    1/4 cup Brown sugar
    1/8 tsp Cinnamon, ground
    1/4 cup Vegetable Oil
    1/4 cup Honey

1) Preheat oven to 300°F. Lightly spray large baking sheet with nonstick spray.

2) Mix oats, almonds, raisins, cranberries, brown sugar, and cinnamon, in large bowl.

3) Combine oil and honey in small saucepan; bring to simmer over medium heat. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla.

    What a wonderful recipe--especially for its simplicity! I skipped the oil and used a little applesauce instead and it turned out beautifully. I also added 1 tsp more cinnamon. Thanks! :) - 9/20/11

    I made a couple of changes because I wanted them to be more like bars. I added a few Tablespoons of Flax seed and 1/4 cup of peanut butter. Baked them in a 9 x 13 inch pan for the same amount of time and cut them into bars. They were awesome! - 7/22/12

    I prefer the loose granola and add them in my plain yogurt and even make it into a cereal. I added pecans as well. Good one for even just to snack on. - 3/26/17
