Susan Cawley's Granola Recipe

Our Mentor Moms are the best, and here's one more reason to prove it. Susan Cawley whipped up a batch of her favorite homemade granola for our most recent MOPS meeting. Some of you (ok, it was me) were asking for the recipe, and she has graciously provided it for all of us! She swears that the maple syrup is the key ingredient here.

GRANOLA

~Susan Cawley

4 cups rolled oats  (not 1 minute) 

½ cup sunflower or sesame seeds or chopped nuts  (I usually use whole nuts) 

A little coconut and/or wheat germ

Salt

¼ cup honey

2 Tbsp maple syrup

¼ c corn or canola oil

2 tsp vanilla

Pour wet ingredients over dry in baking pan.  Bake at 325 degrees  for 40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.

Add raisins and/or cranberries after cooking.

Note:  It is less messy if you put the oil into a glass measuring cup, then add the honey.  

Enjoy!!
