Monday Recipes -Homemade Granola

Granola is so easy to make and homemade is so much better than store bought ...My favorite thing about homemade is you can make it with the things you love and omit the pick out items of a store bought box you don't like ...I love a bowl of vanilla Greek yogurt with granola on top of course its great plain too and very versatile you can make it simple or complex the three main ingredients for mine is oats, honey, and olive oil
There are so many recipes out there and varieties google homemade granola recipes add a little this and a little that and fall in love with it too
I chose Barefoot Contessa "Ina Garten" she has quite a few different recipes to give y'all some ideas of what you could make http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/roasted-hazelnut-granola-recipe/index.html

The Granola above in the picture is

Almond Granola

2 cups of rolled oats
1 cup of broken up almonds
1/3 cup olive oil ---I use olive oil because I feel its healthier you can use regular veg oil to Ive also used coconut oil which is really good
1/2 cup honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract ---I would of used 1/4 teaspoon of almond extract if I had some in the pantry

Throw everything in a bowl toss all ingredients till evenly distributed than put on a baking sheet with parchment paper in a even layer bake at 300 degrees about 15 min stir every now and then you want to make sure it doesn't burn around the edges just cook till golden brown
