Tracey's Granola

My life doesn't include time to cook much lately, so its another guest blog this week from my friend Tracey. Try her Baked Oatmeal if you haven't! 


Tracey's Granola

In a large bowl (or two!) mix the following ingredients:
10 cups of old fashioned rolled oats
2 cups of whole wheat flour
2 cups chopped pecans and/or almonds
2 cups brown sugar


In a separate bowl, mix the following: 
(I pour the liquids into a jar and shake!)
1/2 cup water
3/4 cup of oil
2 cups honey 


Divide the wet mixture between your two bowls of granola and mix well.

Spread your granola in two large, shallow pans. Bake at 250 F (120 C) until deep golden and almost dry, about 2 hours. Every 30 minutes rotate your pans and stir the granola with a chopstick. 

When golden brown and dry, remove from oven and allow to cool. The granola will crisps a little more during cooling process. If you bring it out earlier, it will be chewier. If you let it cook longer, it will be crispier.

  1. How long will this keep in the pantry? Or should it be kept in the fridge?
