Recipe: Dad's Nutty Granola

Today I want to share a delicious granola recipe cooked up by my father:
 
4 cups old-fashioned oats
3 Tbsp dark brown sugar 

1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup honey
3 Tbsp canola oil 

3 Tbsp water 

1 cup each of almonds and pecans
1 tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp nutmeg
pinch of ginger


Adjust oven rack to middle position, and heat oven to 275 degrees F.  Coat a 9-by-13-inch metal pan with cooking spray, then set aside.  Mix oats, brown sugar, nuts, salt and spices. Bring honey, oil, and water to a simmer in a saucepan or microwave.  Drizzle over oat mixture, and stir to combine.  Pour mixture onto prepared pan.  Bake for 30 minutes. Stir.  Continue to bake until golden brown, about 15 to 30 minutes longer.  Let cool.  (Granola can be stored in an airtight tin for up to two weeks.)

My batch was gone much faster!  I also crushed the nuts up a little before adding them to make pieces of varying size.  I hope you enjoy this granola as much as we do!
